Mitchell is the largest settlement, on the border of the township (I think Mitchell is officially part of Logan township), and there is also Carlingford, Russeldale, Motherwell, Munro, Brandy Point, Fullarton Village.

Books Specific to Fullarton township

Fullarton Village Memories is by Lillian and Ralph Smith, published in 1997.

There is also a Fullarton book in Vera McNichol's series Reveries of a Pioneer. There's more information on this series on my Perth County Books page.

A Place Called Motherwell was published in 1938 by the Motherwell Historical Committee.

The new township history of Fullarton is Water Under the Bridge. It was released in April 2000.


Pioneers

Fullarton township was opened for settlement in 1829.

The first settler, according to the history books, was Hugh Kennedy JUNCK in 1832. Daniel KERR settled in what is now Mitchell.

Huron County Library has put online many assessment rolls for 1842. This is basically a list of residents of the area in 1842; it tells you who was living there and how much land they owned. Read their introduction first and then go to their Fullarton Township page.

See also the new Perth County Pioneers page for visitors' submissions of their pioneer info.
