                           GORE TOWNSHIP
                           
      THIS township was organized from Rubicon in 1862.  The first
    officers elected were, JOHN H. TUCKER for Supervisor, GEORGE
    ALLEN, Clerk, and ROBERT HUNTER for Treasurer.  WM. H. LANE,
    ROBERT HUNTER, JOHN N. SMITH and CHRISTIAN PACHERT were chosen
    for Justices of the Peace; Highway Commissioner, JOHN MILLS;
    School Inspectors - ROBERT HUNTER, F. FULLER and GEORGE ALLEN.
    It has one school district, which was also organized in 1862.
      Its northern and eastern boundary is Lake Huron; on the south
    lies Rubicon, and on the west Huron Township.  It is numbered 18
    north, of range 15 east.  The territory of Gore Township is limi-
    ted, containing a small portion of the area of a full Congress-
    ional township.  Its soil and its advantages are about the same
    as those of Rubicon.  The land is somewhat rolling.  Its long
    shore line affords superior water facilities, and makes the
    location of the township an attractive one.  It is well settled
    up, with a good farming community, who are in the main thrifty
    and independent.  The history of Rubicon is part of the history 
    of this township.  The people's pioneer life, their struggles
    and privations, their defeats and triumphs, were together.  The
    citizens of this township do their trading mostly at Port Hope.
    They suffered terribly by the fires of 1881.  The township was
    burned all over except a small area in the southeast corner.
    From the organization to the present time this township has been
    served by the following named
