The Huron Tract
Unsuccessful in its bid to buy more than 2 million acres of surveyed British Crown Reserves and Clergy Reserves in Upper Canada, the Canada Land Company settled for 1.1 million acres of un-surveyed land west of London. On May 24, 1826, the Canada Land Company paid the Crown £145,150 ($295,000) for a territory that would eventually become the counties of Huron, Perth and parts of Lambton and Middlesex.
