Eugenia Falls - Ghost Town
Unknown Ghost Town in Grey Highlands, Ontario, Canada
Aug 08 2009
| Recent status | Unknown |
| Location # | 787 |
Located in an area of Grey County, settlement began from the 1850s through the 1880s. Early visitors were awed by the sight of Eugenia Falls, calling it one of Canada's most beautiful locations. The town was named after Princess Eugene, the wife of Emperor Napoleon. Its population grew to about 200. It had several mills, general stores, a carriage factory, blacksmiths, coopers, shoemakers, carpenters, a Presbyterian and Methodist church, and a school.
The railways never came to Eugenia Falls and eventually the town began to decline. The mills, stores and shops closed down and people began to move away. But it never became a complete ghost town.

William Hogg, who built the first generating station here, is on my Mother's side of the family tree. This is a small piece of family history to me.
