66_12	History
66_13	Queenston was first settled in the 1770s by Loyalist refugees and immigrants from the United
66_14	States. By 1807, the village had 100 homes and a population of 300.
66_15	A new portage around Niagara Falls was developed in the 1780s with Queenston at its north end.
66_16	Wharves, storehouses and a block-house were built. Initially called Lower Landing, it was named
66_17	Queenston by Lieut.-Governor Simcoe. A great deal of fighting occurred here during the War of 1812,
66_18	in the settlement and at nearby Fort George. In that era, Laura Secord lived in this area. Rebel
66_19	William Lyon Mackenzie lived in Queenston in the 1820s and operated his publishing operation here.
66_20	On 13 October 1812, American troops took possession of Queenston Heights. Major-General Sir Isaac
66_21	Brock arrived from Fort George, Ontario with a small force and was killed while trying to regain
66_22	the heights. The British, Mohawk and militia troops under Major-General Roger Hale Sheaffe, with
66_23	reinforcements from Chippawa, Ontario were able to take the hill and captured nearly 1000
66_24	prisoners. The victory and Brock's death are commemorated by Brock's Monument atop the Niagara
66_25	Escarpment with a large stone statue of Brock overlooking the village below. Nearby is a smaller
66_26	monument to Brock's gray horse, Alfred, which may, or may not, have been at Queenston during the
66_27	battle. Queenston Heights is one of the National Historic Sites of Canada, so recognized in June
66_28	1968.
66_29	The settlement of Queenston was destroyed on 10 December 1813. British Captain William Hamilton
66_30	Merritt later said that he saw "nothing but heaps of coals, and the streets full of furniture".
66_31	In the 1830s, Queenston was terminus for a first horse-drawn railway, the Erie and Ontario. The
66_32	subsequent steam railroad that started in around 1854 bypassed Queenston.
66_33	In nearby St. David's, the Queenston Quarry was founded in 1837, and for 150 years stone was
66_34	shipped here to help build many of Ontario's cities. Toronto buildings that benefitted from the
66_35	supply of stone included Queen's Park, the Royal Ontario Museum, Union Station and the Gibraltar
66_36	Point Lighthouse.
66_37	By the mid-1800s, the Welland Canal became the primary method of shipping goods and the village of
66_38	Queenston received little trade.
66_39	Queenston became part of the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1970.
66_40	RiverBrink Art Museum is located in Queenston. It is home to a unique collection of over 1,400
66_41	artworks and artefacts by Canadian and international artists, assembled by Samuel E. Weir.
66_42	Completed in 1970, the building features Georgian-style architecture, including a mansard roof and
66_43	gabled windows. It served as Weir's country residence, and was converted into an art museum
