One of the costs of building the Saint Lawrence Seaway was a devastating loss of communities—and history
Born in Cornwall, Ont., I, like many young people, never really took much interest in where I came from or what the history of the area meant in the context of our Canadian identity. To me it was just the place I lived. Only now, as history and genealogy have become popular, have I realized that my history is not only tied to the beautiful Saint Lawrence River, but lies beneath it.
The Lost Villages, as they came to be known, were nine communities in the former townships of Cornwall and Osnabruck, which were dismantled and then flooded in July 1958—the “price of progress” as the Saint Lawrence Seaway and Hydro Electric project was being implemented. These were, however, places of our earliest history.
