The word "Elzevir" was said to mean elm or firewood. Although lands were first offered for sale in 1821, there were very few takers. As late as 1851, a survey showed that there was almost no settlers in the township. Then, thanks to the Hastings Colonization Road, attention focused more on this norther region. Among those looking northward was Billa Flint of Belleville. A leading merchant... Flint purchased a large tract of land and erected a saw mill in 1853. The village that grew up was called Troy, then later Bridgewater or Actinolite. .... Among early settlers in Elzevir were some of French-Canadian descent, who came seeking land grants or employment in lumber camps. These were the Duquette, Fobert, Genereaux and Courneyea families ...
