Ontario Tourism Region : The Great Waterway

Description From Owner:

Pop. 938. In Yonge and Escott Ts., Leeds and Grenville Cs., on C. Rds. 5,40 & 42, 25 km. W of Brockville.
The first settler was John Dixon in 1784, and the settlement was called Dixon's Corner until the post office opened in 1836 as Farmersville.
One of the first agricultural exhibitions in Ontario was held here, and it was the site of one of the fIrst sanatoria in the province.
In 1888 prosperous merchant Arza Parish suggested the name Athens because, like its namesake in Greece, the town had become an educational centre.
It had a grammar school in 1860, a model school in 1877, and a high school in 1888. Since 1986 the town has invited artists to create large murals on the outside walls of buildings as a tourist attraction.
