    • Port Bruce Street Names
      by Bruce Connor Johnson Jr. July 1999
      http://www.amtelecom.net/~bjohnson/PortBruce/pbstreets.htm

      Colin Street - This street was previously part of Water Street and all of Walnut Street. It is named for Elgin County Sheriff Colin Munro (1821-1883) a well known businessman, county official and frequent visitor at Port Bruce in the 1850s and 1860s. He married Amy Moore the daughter of Lindley and Amy (Lewis) (Davis) Moore of Port Bruce. Colin (not to be confused with "colon", the punctuation mark and body part) is a common and popular old Scottish name. Unfortunately the street signs were made in error and we see "Colen" at a half a dozen crossroad signs in the village. Our township councillors are aware of the misspelling and have indicated that they plan to correct the mistake.
