Description From Owner:

6 mi NW of Murray River in Lots 60, 61 and 63. Selected at a public meeting February 14, 1868 to replace Sconser and County Line. P.O. 1869-1930.
In 1873 the name changed to Caledonia, the historic name for Scotland. This was an appropriate choice for what could be called the most 'Scottish' province in Canada.
By 1798 Scots comprised one half of the Island's population and today they remain the largest ethnic group on the Island.
