1. William Lundy Homestead Marker
A native of Pennsylvania, William Lundy and his wife Nancy (Silverthorn) came to Canada in 1786. They were among the first settlers in the Niagara area. As a United Empire Loyalist, William received from the Crown a large land grant in this section of Stamford Township (now Niagara Falls). He established a farm on a portion of the land, building his home at this site. The laneway he opened to connect his farm with the portage road, about a mile and a half to the east, became a public road called Lundy’s Lane in 1803. The Battle of Lundy’s Lane, the bloodiest conflict during the War of 1812, took place around the eastern end of this road on July 25, 1814. Many of the wounded soldiers took refuge here and received treatment from the Lundys following the battle. William Lundy died in 1829. The original land grant and farm was divided and eventually sold over time. The Lundy house which was enlarged over the years, remained in the family’s ownership for more than 200 years and was used by successive generations of William’s descendants until the property was redeveloped in 1997.
