King
Prior to European exploration of the area, the native peoples living in the area now known as King long ago identified that the best route between lake Ontario and lake Simcoe was to travel up the Humber river, and portage over the Oak Ridges moraine to the Holland River. This route became know as the Toronto Carrying Place and was not only used by the native peoples, but European traders and explorers as well.
The origins of the settlement of King trace back to 1801, when Timothy Rogers, while travelling Yonge street, came across a section of land that he found very suitable for agriculture. He successfully petitioned the government for a grant of land in the area totalling 40 farms. After recruiting settlers from his home state of Vermont, they arrived in the area in 1802 and became some of the first residents of the area.
