BRANT'S FORD
The city of Brantford in southern Ontario where I live has a very interesting history. It can be traced back over three hundred years to the time when Joseph Brant, the Chief of the Iroquois and Six Nations Native Peoples immigrated from the Mohawk Valley of Upper New York State to the Grand River Valley. Since that time, Brantford, as the city is now called, has become a prosperous community.
