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 Ashfield Colborne  Goderich  Grey Hay  Howick  Hullett  McKillop Morris Stanley  Stephen  Tuckersmith Turnberry  Usborne  Wawanosh E.  Wawanosh W. STEPHEN TOWNSHIP This township gets its name from James Stephen Jr., who was Under-Secretary of State for the colonies in the regime of both Lord Goderich and Lord Glenelg. The Township of Stephen is bounded on the north by the Township of Hay; on the east by the Township of Usborne and the Township of Biddulph in the County of Middlesex; on the south by McGillvray Township, also in Middlesex, and by Bosanquet Township in Lambton County. Its western boundary is Lake Huron and consists of 53,844 acres. The eastern half of the township is good rolling land, well drained, and it early attracted settlers interested in farming. The western half was cut up by the Aux Sables River. Before man interfered with the natural course of the river it created large swamps. Great stands of timber was found in the early days and in the first phase of settlement attracted pioneers, especially French Canadians, who were lumbermen rather than farmers. By 1840 there were only 213 settlers, by 1850 it had increased to 742, but by 1861 there was a great increase in population.
