Description From Owner:

Pop. 1,572. In Hungerford T., Hastings C., on Stoco L., (an enlargement of the Moira R.) and Hwy 37 and C. Rd. 38,40 km NW of Belleville. Richard Woodcock was the first settler.
He arrived in 1828 and the following year built a dam across the river. By 1830 Allan Munroe had built another dam and erected the first saw- and grist mill at the site.
The place was first known as Hungerford Mills after the township. (Part of it had been surveyed in 1797 and named after Sir Francis Rawdon-Hastings, a leader in the American Revolution and a descendant of the Barons of Hungerford. )
The Munroe mills changed hands a number of times, until they were acquired by James Jamison, a Scot who had traded his foundry business in Belleville for the mills and surrounding land.
He divided the land into village lots and named the place Tweed after his hometown in Scotland. In 1967 Tweed residents elected what is believed to have been the first all-female council in Canada. The council lasted only one term.
