Local historians report that the townsite, which has been described yas res a big amphitheatre, once was a ated Indian hunting ground, It also was the scene of fierce Indian battles for possession of this rich area. However, word about the potentialities of the site spread, and the white man soon appeared, the first settlers larriving from PennsyWwania, Many of these pioneers were Quakers who built their own meeting place, and so the com- munity known as "the friendly town" was founded by mem- bers of the "Society of Friends." There is an _ interesting story about how the town re- ceived its name. It seems that one day a teamster ~ a new arrival -- was taking a load of household goods and his family in a covered wagon, along what is now the main Brock street. His oxen had been around and over many obstacles in their long trip when one more serious obstacle was encountered. As the driver| approached the creek, he found that he could not get his load through. It is reported that 'he placed his yoke of oxen side by side in the creek, and put some timbers across their broad backs, then obtained an- other yoke of oxen to gl mad the load over the icks_of oxen in the creek, This improvised bridge worked successfully, Everyone in the little village was amazed and talked about the "Ox" bridge, until finally people spoke of the settlement as "Oxbridge". Apparently this name caught the public fancy and because of faulty pronun- ciation became "Uxbridge." That name was adopted for the village when it was incor- porated. THIS IS THE BURIAL place of Thomas J. Foster, a former Mayor of Toronto who spent his boyhood in Ux- town which bore the inscription on the pages of a simulated out- line of an open book -- 'Ux. bridge -- founded 1806.

Before joining Ontario Hydro in 1922, those Uxbridge resi- dents who had electric service received their power from a steam and water power plant located near what is known as the electric light pond in the present creamery, SIGN BOARD As evidence of its friendly atmosphere the community once boasted a municipal sign board on the outskirts of the @ Commercio! ond industrial Sites bridge.
