. Clinton, Huron County Ontario
Clinton was established in 1831. Some of the earliest settlers were Peter Vanderburgh who opened a tavern, & Jonas Gibbings, a farmer. The Village of Clinton was originally known as "The Corners".
* The corners was a favorite resort; the long drive in inter but aded to the pleasure. In summer gay parties of riders made their way there & also down the Bayfield Rd. when a freshet did not happen to float off the causeways. The Reids' house at The Corners had been an log inn, but with wings, & with a few trees round it, the latter no small adornment; for though many had gardens which come down to to us: full of sweet smelling sound: the forest trees had been ruthlessly cut down & new ones had not yet grown.
The Corners, so called by Vanderburgh & Rattenabury is the name by which old times best remember Clinton. It was the centre of a settlement which contributed a good deal the the jollity & history. The road now called the Huron was then known as the Land Rd. The old original Huron Rd a the site of dubliner - one of the 2 police villages. The Corners or Clinton turned towards London, passed the site of Exeter & the only white man's house (James Willis) then within a radius of 20 miles. The home of Yankee Reid's was the wayside inn built by Peter Vanderburgh in 1831, the only one for many miles & when the inhabitants of The Corners comprised but the Vanderburghs & the Gibbins.
. [c.1834, while trying to avoid the cholera:] A family of 12 children had a night of terror when her husband, with gun & watch fires, kept a pack of wolves at bay, was one of the many adventures ere The Corners, a particular spot of dense forest which they were to call home, were reach.
