"Originally called Charlesville, (the reason is unknown), the area for this village was first settled by disbanded soldiers of the King’s Royal Regiment of New York. The village was later renamed Aultsville, in honour of Samuel Ault a member of Canada’s first parliament in 1867, and a resident of the community. Samuel Ault’s father, Nicholas J. Ault, dammed the creek at the village site, built a sawmill, and shipped lumber downriver to Montreal. Isaiah Ault was postmaster for many years, then reeve for the Township of Osnabruck, and finally Warden for the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry in 1891. The population of Aultsville was four hundred inhabitants in 1879, and stayed at that figure until the Hydro and Seaway projects of the 1950s. Because Aultsville was a port town with a ferry service carrying passengers to and from Louisville Landing on the American side of the river, it became a very busy little community. There were three sawmills and the clay soil in the area yielded bricks and pottery from the Elliott’s yards in the town. There were three churches, an elementary school, a high school, four general stores, an automobile dealership, two service stations, a cheese factory, a bank, a sash and door factory, a barber shop and the Canadian Notional Railway Station, a landmark that, today, is at a prominent location west of Upper Canada Village on County Road #2.
