Car Shipping Brantford, Auto Transport Ontario
Brantford is a city on the Grand River in southern Ontario, Canada, and the Brant County seat about an hour’s drive west from Hamilton at the western end of Lake Ontario and a similar distance from Lake Erie to the south. Brantford had a population of 93,650 reported in the 2011 census, up from 90,192 people in 2006 and consistent with the city’s historical demographic pattern of steady, slow growth. Brantford is named for Joseph Brant, a Mohawk Indian military and political leader of the 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1784, the British Government gave Brant and the Six Nations Indians for their loyalty during the French and Indian War and the American Revolution a large land grant on the river at the south edge of the present city. Brant’s river-crossing site gave the original name to the area, Brant’s Ford.
Brantford is at the farthest navigable point of the Grand River and was once a southern Ontario railroad hub. The water-rail transport combination developed Brantford from a farming community into an industrial city for the agriculture implements produced by Massey-Harris, Verity Plow, and the Cockshutt Plow Company. This industry provided steady employment that sustained economic growth through most of the 20th century.
Alexander Graham Bell’s first home in North America was a farmhouse on Tutela Heights, now part of Brantford, where Bell invented the telephone in 1874. For its part in the invention and development of the telephone and as the home of Canada’s first telephone factory, Brantford became Canada’s “Telephone City.”
