Description From Owner:

Pop. 338. In Vespra T., Simcoe C., on C. Rds. 26 & 28, 16 km. NW of Barrie. The post office was established as Minesing in 1867. Minesing is an Ojibwa word for 'island.'
Eight km. south of Minesing, an historic plaque marks the former site of the Willow Creek Depot. During the War of 1812, Fort Willow was an important storage depot for supplies.
It was near the end of the Nine Mile Portage, which connected the landing place at the headwaters of Kempen felt Bay (today the site of Barrie), to Willow Creek.
