• In 1668, two Sulpician priests established a mission to serve the Iroquois bands migrating to the N shore ofL. Ontario:
• For a few years the Kente (Quinte) Mission was a signifIcant outpost of French influence m the lower Great Lakes region.
• It was abandoned in 1680, mainly because of the growth of nearby Fort Frontenac. Matthias Marsh built the frrst grist mill in Ameliasburgh T. in 1804. In 1832 residents held a meeting and decided to call their community Marshton.
• Four years later, however, the post office opened as Consecon and the name came into common usage. Consecon derives from the Mississaugas word con-con (pickerel), a fish once found in abundance in Consecon L.
