Brief History of Brantford 

Brantford, ON, was incorporated as a city in 1877. The city is named after Joseph Brant, an influential Mohawk leader during the American Revolutionary War. He led his people in their first decades in Upper Canada.

Many of Joseph Brant’s descendants, and other First Nations citizens, live on the nearby reserve of Six Nations of the Grand River, 15 kilometres from the City of Brantford. The reserve is the most populous in Canada.

Brantford is also known as the “Telephone City” because of the city’s famous resident, Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the first telephone at his father’s homestead, Melville House, now the Bell Homestead scenic Tutela Heights.

Although, the home to several manufacturing industries, and educational institutions, Brantford also has great heritage sites, amazing trails and beautiful historic homes.
