Cartwright township was named to honour the Hon. Richard Cartwright, of Kingston, who held a seat in the Legislative Council of Upper Canada, previous to his decease in 1815. The township of Cartwright is bounded on the north by Mariposa, on the west by part of the County of Ontario and Lake Scugog, on the south by Darlington, and on the east by Manvers. The soil is generally a rich loam - the timber hardwood. In 1850, the population stood at 1558; in 1861 it had risen to 2727. Cartwright Township was settled largely by Irish immigrants, in the early 1800's.
The families of Dafoe, Mersalus, Ault, Booth, Weart, Empy, Adams, Mcnairn, Shafer, Rosenberger, Rambough, Hanes, Helmer, Brouse, Lennox, Van Allen, Macdonnell, Collison, Murchison, Van Camp, Roblin, Grooms, Urquart, Warner, Griffin, Mcgillis, sutherland, Dobbs, Fitchette, Mallory, Grant, William Warren Baldwin, Ambrose De Farcy, and Lieut.Col.

In the early history of Darlington township, we find that Mr. John Burk, John W. Trull, and Roger Conat, were the pioneers, and first settlers of this Township. They emigrated together, with their families, from the United States to Canada, in the year 1794, and on the 2nd day of October, they landed from their boats on the beach of Lake Ontario, one mile west of Barber's Creek, now Port Darlington.
The militia roll call of 1812 gives the following names of pioneer Darlington township settlers: Ebenezer Hartwell, Daniel Lightheart, Norris Carr, Augustus Barber, Waterman A.

In Hope Township, the town of Port Hope, has borne that name for more than half a century. Its history extends over a period of about ninety years. A trading post flourished there at least as long ago as 1778, at which time the site was occupied by a small Indian village. The name of the village, which consisted of a number of wigwams inhabited by Mississauga Indians, was Cochingomink. The first white man who left an enduring monument of his presence there was one, Peter SMITH, a trader who dwelt in a log hut on the bank of the creek which empties into Lake Ontario at this point. The hut stood on the east side of the creek, about two hundred yards from the latter's mouth, and disappeared before the advent of the present century. Peter SMITH in his day achieved some fame throughout this region as a hunter and trapper, but his ostensible calling was that of a fur trader. He enjoyed an enviable reputation among the Indians for truthfulness and fair dealing, and was resorted to by them from far distant points. For some time the Indians of the neighborhood would sell their furs to no one else along the entire north shore of the lake. Consequently he enjoyed a monopoly of the trade. The creek that flowed past his door was named after him, and the village itself came in process of time, to be called, Smith's Creek. The date of Peter SMITH's arrival at Cochingomink cannot definitely be ascertained, but a man named HERCHIMER, who took possession of the hut and carried on the fur trade established by his predecessor, succeeded him about 1790. Neither of these traders, however, can in strictness be called permanent settlers. The first white man who took up his abode on the site of Port Hope, with a view to permanent residence there, was a Mr. Myndert HARRIS, a U.E.Loyalist, who removed thither from Port Royal [now called Annapolis], in Nova Scotia, in the year 1792. He made the journey from Nova Scotia to Upper Canada through the State of New York, and upon his arrival at Newark [Niagara] he was entertained for some days by Governor Simcoe, who had not then removed to Little York. By the Governor's advice, Mr. HARRIS determined to settle at Smith's Creek, whither he was dispatched in a gunboat commanded by Capt. Jonathan WALTON, a gentleman whose name is familiar to all old residents of Port Hope. His surname is perpetuated in the designation of the principal street of the place. The boat reached its destination on the 8th day of June and Mr. HARRIS and his family at once disembarked. They were not without certain misgivings as to the manner of their reception by the Indians. These misgivings proved to be not altogether fanciful. The village then contained about 200 Indians and only one white man, Mr. HERCHIMER already mentioned. The former regarded the fresh arrivals as "Yankee intruders" and was by no means disposed to welcome them with open arms. It required all the eloquence of HERCHIMER and Capt. WALTON to convince the Indians that the emigrants were not Yankees, but loyal subjects of the Great Father -- The King of England. The assurances of those gentlemen finally prevailed and the newcomers were permitted to settle in the village without molestation. Before the setting in of winter, several other families arrived from Nova Scotia and elsewhere. The smoke of half a dozen log cabins mingled with the curling wreaths that ascended from the wigwams of the Mississagas. The aborigines were upon the whole not unfriendly and the whites set themselves diligently to work to clear the land. The latter accommodated themselves to circumstances and though they did not regard the immediate proximity of a numerous body of Indians in the light of an advantage, they were free from many of the hindrance incidental to pioneer life in other parts of the Province.
After the original pioneers, came the ASHFORD, JOHNSON, TRULL and STEVENS families. ASHFORD died in 1795 - being the first death in the new settlement. Simeon, son on James STEVENSs the first child born and the first marriage was that of Margaret, daughter of Mr. HARRIS, to Elias JONES. The ceremony being performed by Squire BLUCHER, who stopped on his way to Little York for this purpose, in compliance with the request of the parties concerned in the interesting event.
The township of Manvers is bounded on the north by the township of Ops; on the west by Cartwright, on the south by Clarke, and on the east by Cavan. The land is of fair quality - the timber is a mixture of hardwood and pine. After the surveys in 1816 and 1817, lands were taken up by the following: Robert McNaughton, John P. McKee, Duncan McDonald, Ronald McDonald, George Gillinger, Josiah Hawley, Michael Gallinger, John McPherson, John Summers, Donald Grant, the McLarens, families of the McLaughlins, Miller, Fraser, Hay, Curry, Bethune, McPhie, McGillis, McIntosh, Matthew, Powly, Ward, McIntyre, Smith, Purdy, Williams, Daniel Cain, Wm. Falkner, John Dingwall, John McCarthur, Mary Rose, David Jacox, Philip Munroe, the Chisholms, Snetzingers, James Urquart, Wm. Campbell, McDougall, Cummings, Park, Christie, Burnhart, Millroy, Eastman, Stephenson, Casey, Clark, Graham, Carpenter, Hartle, McGuire, Bray, Forsyth, Scott, Fraser, Powell, Earhart, Blacklock, Manson, Waggoner, Barricher, Shaver, Cryderman, Van Sickle, Gordon. Large grants were also made to Bishop Mountain, Church of England Bishop of Quebec, of blocks of land in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th concessions, amounting to thousands of acres. The Argues, Armstrongs, and families of Beamish, Bensons, Byres, Cairns, Craig, Touchburn, Wilson, Gray, Johnston, Lyons, Little, Morris, McGuire, Magill, McAllister, Neal, Preston, Russell, Staples, Syer, Riley, Fallis, Graham, Kelly, Lee, Porter, Rehill, Sisson, Raper, Pritchard, were settlers of a more recent date.
Mr. John Grandy, came to Canada, from the County Wicklow, Ireland, in 1825. His son, Samuel, took up land in Cavan. Robert Grandy, the present reeve of the township, is largely engaged in business at Bethany, and owns some 600 acres on the 7th and 8th concessions. The grandmother, over 90 in 1880, has a vivid recollection of the early struggles of the family in the bush.
The McKies are another well-known Irish family, occupying comfortable farms on the 10th concession in 1880.
