History
Cornwall and Osnabruck were two of the original eight "Royal Townships" established along the
Saint Lawrence River in
Upper Canada. Osnabruck was named after a title formerly held by
Prince Frederick, son of
George III, who at one time was
Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück in
Lower Saxony, and Cornwall was named for Prince Frederick's title as
Duke of Cornwall.
This area was first settled by members of Sir
John Johnson's King's Royal Regiment of New York, and became
Stormont County in 1792.
The Lost Villages, ten
ghost towns which were flooded by the construction of the
St. Lawrence Seaway in 1958, were located in the former Cornwall and Osnabruck Townships. The communities of Long Sault and Ingleside were newly built to accommodate displaced residents of the flooded villages.
