Border City Stories

Where are the Border Cities?
Ojibway: Exists only as a ghostly outline on a map. It centered roughly around the present-day intersection of Ojibway Parkway and Broadway but extended as far south as Turkey Creek.
Sandwich: The Old Town survives as a wedge fanning from Prince Road east to Rankin Avenue. Its centre was at the intersection of present-day Brock and Sandwich streets. Windsor: The keystone of the Border Cities, the original city of Windsor stretched from Partington east to Gladstone Avenue. City Hall Square has been at the heart of the city for generations. Walkerville: A model industrial town, historic Walkerville fit snuggly between Lincoln and Walker Road (Fifth Street), but its farmland stretched deep into the county. Ford City: Initially more of an industrial park, Ford City occupied lands from Walker Road east as far as Pillette but was concentrated around Riverside Drive and Drouillard Road. Riverside: Primarily a residential community, Riverside extended from Ford City east as far as Little River. Its town hall was located on Lauzon Road, just south of Riverside Drive. |
