Tillsonburg

Dereham Forge takes the Tillson name

Tillsonburg in brief

Tillsonburg sits in Oxford County about 50 kilometres southeast of London at Highways 3 and 19. A 14th-century Iroquoian village with 15 longhouses was dug in the northwest corner of town in 2001 and 2008.

George Tillson and neighbours from Enfield, Massachusetts, settled along Big Otter Creek in 1825, building a forge and sawmill at Dereham Forge. The village took the Tillsonburg name in 1836 and grew into today's town.
