w- Roots of names Here 's a brief rundown on a few of the personali- ties who wilI bequeath their trames to Milton 's, future neighbourhoods -- an elaboration on the stoP-y at right. The man behind the Bristol survey (formerly the Milton east/southeast plan) is Richard Bristol, a deputy provincial sur- veyor in 1817-18. In the spning of 1819, Mr. Bristol began sur- veying land north of thse Trafalgar and Esquesing Townships. The Sherwood survey (formerly Milton wesý/southwest) takes ita namne fromn Reuben Sherwood. In the ea?ly 1 800s, Mr. Sherwood helped subdivide settlements such as Nassagaweya. The namesakes of the Dempsey neighbourhood, located at the east end of Milton, were a farming family who arrived in the area from Ireland in the early 1 800s. The moat celebrated of the clan was the family's second son, George. Mr. Dempsey's dlaim to local famne came through being elecfed to Milton council in 1860. The Clarke neighbourhood, to the southeast of Milton, is named after another native of the Emerald Isle, Samuel Clarke, who arrived in Trafalgar Township during 1834. Mr. Clarke soon indulged in bis love of politics, becoming a councillor on thse Trafalgar Township. The Beaty neighbourhood, located in Milton's southeast end, is named for yet another son of Ireland, Trafalgar farmer John Beaty, who arrived in this ares in 1820. His son William became the better known Beaty, tackling the job of secretary of the Trafalgar Agricultural Society and serving on Trafalgar council in 1864. John Willmott, sire of thse Willmott family, hailed from England, settling his brood of 10 family members in Milton in 1818. A great-grandson, Joseph Willmott eventually eamed a place on Trafalgar Township council.

A plan to naine upcoming gmowth areas and future neighbourhoods after local his- torical figures was recently approved by the Town's administration and planning committee. Final ratification is expected at the next council meeting on January 25. Infusing new neighbourhoods with a sense of tradition by lînking them to domestic historical figures was the brain- child of the Town's director of planning and development, Mel Tovio. ..Ilve neyer been too enamoureri of those namnes," Mr. Tovio sairi of 10 the limply labeled Milton EastlSoutheast plan and thse West/Southwest Plan. Subject to council approval, thse expan- sion areas wtll soon be called the Bristol Survey and the Sherwood Survey rcspec- tively. Research for tIse project wao done through a collaborative proceos, with Councillor John Challinor and local histo- rians Jim Dilîs and Alex Cooke at the helm. Members of the historical society and Heritage Milton were encouraged to help in the brainstorming process. "Whenever you are getting involved in history,* if brings in a lot of people," said Mr. Challinor. "Milton is very proud of its history." If was Mr. Dilîs who mastered the chal- lenge of naming Milton's two large expan- sion areas by unearthing the stories of old surveyors. Namïing subdivtsions proved less of a task, said Mr. Challinor. 'That was much simpler. We just looked at who had settled in those areas," he said. Subject 10 counicil approval, upcoming subdivisions will be named after the D'empsey, Clarke, Beaty and Willmott families. Naming new neighbourhoods for old and respected farnilies is a win-win situation, said Mr. Challinor. "I think one of the challenges with past subdivisions is, what docs if mean to calI if Timberlea or Dorset Park?" he asked.
