Community of Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada

**Lynedoch** is a village in [Norfolk County, Ontario](/source/Norfolk_County%2C_Ontario), Canada, and was named after [Baron Lynedoch](/source/Thomas_Graham%2C_1st_Baron_Lynedoch) who served under [Lord Wellington](/source/Arthur_Wellesley%2C_1st_Duke_of_Wellington) during the [War of 1812](/source/War_of_1812).

Lynedoch is located northwest of [Pine Grove](/source/Pine_Grove%2C_Norfolk_County%2C_Ontario), southwest of [Delhi](/source/Delhi%2C_Ontario), and west of [Simcoe](/source/Simcoe%2C_Ontario).

## History

Lynedoch's earliest known inhabitants, from around 1000-1350 AD, were the [Algonquin](/source/Algonquin_people) nation. They were noted flint-workers and evidence of their skill in crafting arrowheads is still to be found in open worked field areas surrounding the village. The next wave of inhabitants were the [Attawandaron](/source/Neutral_Nation) nation, the Neutrals, who occupied the region from about 1350 until their absorption by the [Iroquois](/source/Iroquois) in the year 1651. The last significant native nation to occupy the area was the [Mississaugas](/source/Mississaugas).

During the 19th century, this hamlet had a post office, a school, tailor’s and blacksmith shops, taverns, hotels, and churches.[1]

## Industry

[Agriculture](/source/Agriculture) is the main industry in the community. Residents can purchase *[Dennis' Horseradish](/source/Dennis'_Horseradish)* from the Jason Ryder family farm just five minutes' driving distance to the east; they are a third-generation agriculture family in the area.[2][3]

A quaint church and bank were moved to Cranberry Creek Gardens in Lynedoch for preservation and restoration. The site is now used as an event venue, hosting outdoor weddings, garden parties, concerts and wedding receptions.[4]

## Theoretical effects from catastrophic climate change

The winter of 1975 was the only unusually mild winter in the region from 1897 to 1977.[5] From the late 1990s onwards, mild winters became a more common thing due to changes in the Earth's climate zones.

The warmest summers that Lynedoch has witnessed occurred in 1998, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009 (with the exception of the month of July[6]), 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.[7]
