TRAFALGAR TOWNSHIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY was established in January 2006. It was founded on the work of the Trafalgar 200 Committee that held a celebration for the 200th anniversary of the Township. The history of the older, agricultural communities of North Oakville that were settled as early as 1806 are not presently well documented or celebrated. All of the community now known as Oakville was once Trafalgar Township. Trafalgar Township ceased to exist with its amalgamation with Oakville in 1962. The Trafalgar Township Historical society focuses on the area bounded by Dundas, Lower Baseline, Burloak Drive and Winston Churchill. The four main goals of the Historical Society are to: Educate-the community about our rich history and establish a schoolhouse museum. Document-with photos and oral accounts, the history of the Township to establish an archives. Preserve-historical buildings and landmarks. Celebrate- the lives of our early settlers. |
