About this time, the BALCO company acquired by purchase all the lands are not sold or interviewed Bury neighborhood. In this way, they became the only township owners, through their efforts, it was first colonized. In 1835-36 the first attempt at settlement was made. At this time a path was made for Robinson VillageTaylor Farm, abouttwo and a half miles east ofCookshire;also a way to Victoria.
Victoria, one of the first model villages in Canada, was built by the Company about a mile west of Scotstown, on the Salmon River in 1836.
There were 30 houses, a saw mill, tow or three stores, and a large building used as a church, school house, and the Company Registrar Office. There were about two hundred people in the village at a time.Everything was provided; Kitchenware food, clothing and tools. A just culture was raised by some, but the land around there were poor for the next year, when the rumor started that they had to pay for all these things and farms, and they pass over, most of them left.
In a short time there was but a Dutchman named Christopher Roehart and his family. He and his older son drowned in the Salmon River (Salmon), are reported in the grave, a year later. A daughter, Elizabeth, married Alfred Mayhew in Canterbury and lived the rest of his life. Co. BALCO has not yet attempted Immigration so lavish!
They brought Scottish immigrants on the island of Lewis and Lingwick Winslow, and hundreds of families in other parts of what is now the County Compton. Much of the district of St. Francis then all under the riding of Sherbrooke.
It was around 1836 that Robinson Village was launched, built the sawmill, the store opened, and other established shops. Mr. Lemuel Pope was the leading spirit in the days and at one time owned most of the land where the village is located.
Many of these early immigrants became discouraged and went in search of other friendly neighborhoods.
