Introduction To Elgin The Elgin settlement, also known as Buxton, was Uie last of four organized black settlements to come into existence in Canada. Hie black population of Canada West and Chatham was already high because of the area’s proximity to the United States of America. The land was purchased by the Elgin Association through the Presbyterian Synod for the purpose of creating a settlement. The land lay 12 miles south of Chatham. When news of the Elgin settlement spread, white settlers became worried, and attempted to block its development with a petition. Regardless of sentiment, plans for the settlement went ahead and many of Buxton's settlers feared for the life of William King due to the resistance of whites. Search this site!

William King Founder of the Elgin Settlement, Rev. William King established a community that still exists today. This community is considered by many as one of the only settlements began as a haven for Blacks escaping slavery to have been a success. Much of the credit for the success of the settlement mast be given to Rev. William King and his thoughtful development of this community.
