Northumberland County, situated on the north shore of Lake Ontario is located east of the Regional Municipality of Durham, west of Hastings, southeast of Kawartha Lakes and south of Peterborough County.
Together with Durham County, it formed the "Newcastle District" from 1798 to 1849 and the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham from 1850 to 1973.
Being a centre of early settlement, the area provides a fine stock of period homes. It was first settled by United Empire Loyalists fleeing the former 13 American Colonies in the late 18th century. The Crown provided plots to the settlers for nominal sums or free to those who had served against the American Colonial Army.
Following the war of 1812 many port towns, particularly Port Hope, Cobourg, Grafton and Colborne, became important centres for commercial activity and destinations for European immigrants arriving by steamers and later by rail.
These towns today are magnificently preserved with a wealth of historic, vintage homes and architecturally unique properties af all kinds to appeal to every taste.
If you have a taste for homes that are distinct, as I do, I'd like to show you what Northumberland has to offer. Contact me to discuss what you're looking for.
