St. Clair River
After 1812, people started to settle along the St. Clair River. Before few people lived there. They were French, and didn't have legal title to the land. When the Irish moved in, the French sold their squatters rights to the Irish in about 1833. The Natives could sell land only with the approval of the Province. Anyhow, soon after 1812, people bought up land legally along the St. Clair River.
