Description From Owner:

Pop. 8,000. In the Reg. Mun. of Hamilton-Wentworth on Grindstone Cr. and Hwy 5,8 km N of Hamilton.
Alexander McDonnell was the first to own land at the site, having been given a land grant in 1796.
When he failed to develop his holding, the land was granted in 1805 to Alexander Brown, a former officer of the North West Company.
Brown built the first mill at Great Falls on Grindstone Cr., and his sons later constructed Brown's Wharf on nearby L. Ontario. The post office was established in 1840.
Mill builder Henry Van Wagner is said to have named the community Waterdown because of the waters of Grindstone Cr. which rush down from the Niagara Escarpment at Great Falls.
