Lancaster was incorporated in 1887. Conveniently located at the junction of Hwy 2, Hwy 34, and the 401, the main street offers a variety of restaurants and quaint country shops. The nearby St. Lawrence River provides recreational fishing and boating. Loyalists founded Kirktown in 1785 and the settlers renamed the village "Lancaster" in honor of King George III , who also held the title of Duke Of Lancaster . The town had an excellent location near the St. Lawrence River and it soon became a centre for a multitude of industry and commerce. Lancaster was the hub of an active stagecoach run. Farmers and businessmen from other villages delivered their products to Lancaster for export. Since 1999, information on the community and it's resources has been made available through the community web site, Glengarry on the Web . |
