History:

"In 1791 William Applegarth emigrated from Durham county, England and settled in East Flamborough, receiving a Crown Grant of 900 acres of farmland in the Broken Front Concession, East Flamborough, which eventually became the Oaklands estate. He is said to have given the name Aldershot to the area formerly known as Burlington Plains. 

When his widowed daughter Sarah married Alexander Brown in 1842, she was given Lot 6 east of what is now La Salle Park Road and Part Lot 7. Her brother William Brown received the rest of Lot 7 and Lot 8

In 1889 the Oaklands house and 67 acres were sold to T. B. Townsend, who divided much of the land into lots for "villa residences with fruit", or market gardens. 

After his death his two daughters continued to lived on the estate. Emma Townsend lived there until she died in 1951."
