Description From Owner:
  • Pop. 139. In Dunwich and Southwold Ts., Elgin C. on C. Rds. 3 & 14, 23 km. SW of St. Thomas.
  • George Munroe surveyed the area around 1815 and named the community after the Holy Isle ofIona in Argyllshire off the west coast of Scotland.
  • The settlement straddled the town line and the Dunwich side was called Elliottsville for Sarah Elliott who had donated land for a Methodist church.
  • Iona/Elliottsville was an important wagon stop for traders between Niagara and Amherstburg and the population reached 700 by 1870.
  • Two years later the Michigan Central Railroad built its line 3 Ian NW of lona and named its station Iona Station. Businesses followed the railway and lona's population dwindled.
