Description From Owner:

Britain Pop.402. In Mariposa T., Victoria C., on C. Rds. 4 & 6, 12 km. SW of Lindsay. Harrison Haight settled in 1834 and built the township's first mill.
Robert Ferguson Whiteside built a store in 1853 in which a meeting was held the following year to choose a name for the community.
The first name suggested by James Metherell was Margaretville, after his mother. Whiteside, in whose store the post office was to be located, decided the name should be Elm Grove.
But there turned out to be four other Elm Grove post offices in Ontario, so the post office assigned the name Little Britain after a T. in Lancaster C., PA which had been so named in 1738 because many of its settlers had come from Britain.
