Description From Owner:

Pop. 4,944. Part of the Town of Valley East, Reg. Mun. of Sudbury, on C. Rd. 80; 11 km NE of Sudbury.
The first settlers were French-Canadian farmers, who arrived in the spring of 1898.
Jacob Proulx, Henry Beaulieu, Napoleon Labelle, and Joseph Chartrand had between them two horses and one cow, but they persevered and eked out a living from the land.
The community slowly grew, and in 1903 the post office was established as Hanmer after early settler Gilbert Hanmer, a farmer from Brant C.

My Husbands GG grandfather was Henri Beaulieu. We have two sons, one who has carried on the agrarian roots and farms! Unfortunately the land that the Hanmer homestead was on is not fertile and was slowly sold by future generations! So our son farms on my family farm! Our son was fortunate to have the farming genes as did his dad! My husband brought with him the love of the potatoe and we had to plant 200 pounds just to see them grow, as it’s way more than a family of four can consume! He also was intrigued by maple syrup having only one producer in the Sudbury area, so got right busy tapping trees every spring here on our farm! Thank you for posting information about the founding fathers of Hanmer!
