In 2008, the Warwick History Township Committee put a great deal of time, energy and heart into the creation of the manuscript entitled The Township of Warwick: A Story Through Time. This sweeping history has been made available in its entirety in this virtual exhibit, along with additional photographs and research material that was not included in the original publication. Feel free to browse the book chapters below, and visit other pages in this virtual exhibit to explore photographs, videos, documents, and additional information about Warwick Township. You can also use the search functionality to look for material related to specific individuals, businesses, clubs, etc.

The original book covers Warwick Township from prehistoric times to budding nineteenth-century communities, through the First and Second World Wars and into the current day. It combines an interest in the development of urban and rural spaces with an emphasis on the stories behind individual families who have lived and thrived in Warwick Township.

This virtual exhibit was produced through a partnership between the Lambton County Archives and the Warwick Township History Committee. Please direct any questions or comments to archives@county-lambton.on.ca.
