History


Mohawk Road, is a road that follows the route of an ancient Indian Trail that passed through dense forest. First Nation inhabitants in the area walked this path from upper New York State. [1]


One section of the Hamilton mountain to be filled at the earliest date was by the Pennsylvania Dutch of Loyalists settlers at present-day Mohawk Road, west of Upper James Street, and running to the mountain brow between Queen Street and the Sanatorium. Upper James Street at the time was known as the Caledonia Highway.[2]
