Brock Township was first surveyed in 1817 and named after Major General Sir Isaac Brock (1769-1812) whose estate received free land for his service in the War of 1812. William Bagshaw was Brock's first Post Master and Justice of the Peace in 1819. Many members of the Bagshaw family are shown on this map.
Vroomanton was named after its founder Colonel James Vrooman, who was granted land in 1820 for his participation in the war of 1812. J. Vrooman and S. Vrooman both appear on this map. S. is most likely his brother Solomon who also fought in the War of 1812.
Other early settler families of Brock township include: Acton, Charters, Dusto, Purvis, Rundle, Bagshaw, Doble, Phair, St. John, Umphrey, Brethour, Doyle, Fallowdown, Ruddy and Vrooman, Wilson, Glendenning, Oke, Shier, Keenan and Speiran.
