Description
This research paper discusses the history of Haliburton County by examining the names of lakes in the region. Looking at "what is in" the names (past and present) of lakes in Haliburton helps to piece together and understand the history of the County.
Haliburton's history from First Nations through settlement days, with the interaction of Europeans and First Nations people, to the development of industry is presented as reflected in the naming of lakes in the area.
