Raglan is a community in Ontario. In 1792, Governor Simcoe declared all of Rondeau Bay as "ordnance land" which reserved the waters and peninsula for naval and military purposes. Shrewsbury was surveyed as a future naval base and prospective capital of the "Western District". A channel to the lake was dredged through the bay and through the sandy islands where the present village of Erieau now stands. A long wharf was constructed along the Shrewsbury shoreline to accommodate large sailing vessels. It was to have been a port and, indeed, did have a dock in Rondeau Bay. Rondeau Bay had a post office from 1882-1948. Shrewsbury's first school, School Section #13, was built on the new Scotland Line in 1860-61, by Mr. Addison Smith. It was an integrated school and its first teacher was Mrs. Emeline Shadd.
