The first settlers arrived in St. Marys in the early 1840's, attracted by the area's natural resources. At the new town site, the Thames River (Canada) cascaded over a series of limestone ledges, providing the power to run the first pioneer mills and giving the community an early nickname: Little Falls.
Nice history of your country, must have been hard to settle there in 1840 but a clever place with the falls.

ReplyDeleteThis would be a wonderful spot to sit and daydream. Perhaps in spring or summer. It looks a bit chilly for that now.
ReplyDeleteI see the falls but I don't see water wheels or mills or turbines or other equipment to utilize the water power.
