HURON COUNTY TOWNSHIPS
Stories and information on Huron County Townships taken from the book The Settlement of Huron Countyby James Scott, 1916. Ryerson Press, 1966
HULLETT TOWNSHIP
Hullett was named from John Hullett, a member of the firm of Hullett Brothers, one of the leading and first financial supporters of John Galt's scheme for the establishment of the Canada Company. John Hullett was the only member of the firm to take an active interest in Canada and for several years he lived in the Province of Quebec before returning home to England. The township is triangular in shape, bounded on the northeast by the townships of East Wawanosh and Morris, on the southeast by McKillop, on the southwest by Tuckersmith, and on the west by the Township of Goderich, from which it is separated by the Base Line, an extension of the London Road which runs almost due north. It is intersected by a tributary of the Maitland River, its main source of drainage. The land is of high quality but it tends to be flatter than other parts of the county. This flatness has been used as an explanation for the slow development of this particular township in that the settlers coming in from the old country were used to rolling land, as in England, to say nothing of the highlands of Scotland, and hence were suspicious of this sort of country. In spite of the fact that one of the earliest and certainly most successful settlers in Huron County - Anthony Van Egmond - first located in Hullett, by 1844 there were only 195 people in the township, Hullett was originally settled predominantly by immigrants from England, the next group, the Scots were half their number. There was also a small amount of Irish. Besides the Van Egmonds, the earliest settler was Thomas Walker who took up land near Clinton in 1833. Most of the early settlement activities in this township were in the area that eventually became the town of Clinton.
