Ontario Tourism Region : The Great Waterway

Description From Owner:

Pop. 95. In Bastard and South Burgess Ts., Leeds and Grenville Cs., on the SW shore of Upper Beverly L. and C. Rd. 42, 37 km. W of Brockville.
Abel Stevens, a United Empire Loyalist from Vermont, was granted land in the 1790s in the Beverly Lakes watershed and brought settlers into the area before the township was surveyed in 1796.
For a time the settlement was known as Stevenstown, but by 1809 Stevens was operating a grist mill, and the place was called Stone Mills. Later the community was named Beverley after Chief Justice Sir John Beverley Robinson.
When the post office opened in 1857 the name had to be changed because there already was a Beverley in Ontario. The name Delta was chosen because of its location between the two lakes.
Dr. Lome Pierce (1890-1961), born in Delta, was editor of The Ryerson Press 1920-1960. He established an excellent collection of Canadian literature at Queen's University.
