The First Families
The first families to settle around the Twelve Mile Creek lakefront entrance and shoreline were the United Empire Loyalists. These former American Colonists had remained loyal to Britain during the American Revolution. Many had fought with the Butler's Rangers against the American Revolutionaries and when the war was over they disbanded in Niagara in 1783. For their efforts, loyalty and their losses of land, possessions and livelihood they were given grants of Crown land as compensation.

One such United Empire Loyalist was Captain Peter Tenbroeck, an officer in Butler's Rangers, who re-entered civilian life with hundreds of others when Butler's Rangers were disbanded at Niagara. In 1796 he received over eight hundred acres of Crown land. The land which Port Dalhousie was later built on was listed in the Crown grants in the name of Captain Tenbroeck.

Benjamin Pawling, also a Butler's Ranger, received a large tract of land in the township of Grantham just east of Port Dalhousie. He and his brother Jesse were sons of a Welshman who settled in Pennsylvania before the American Revolutionary War. Later Jesse married Captain Tenbroeck's daughter, Gertrude, and they had several children.
