Article from the King Connection on King township's portion of the Holland Marsh, which West Gwillimbury traded for a train bridge into the town of Bradford in 1852.
This edition of the Bradford Witness is located in the Local History Room, and is in particular a very noteworthy edition. The printing of this edition included many photographs of local businessmen, houses, storefronts, churches, and of the main streets.
