Ball's Falls, Ontario

Ball's Falls, Ontario, also known as Balls Mills, Louthe Mills and Glen Elgin, is a historical ghost town located in what is now a part of Jordan in the Niagara region which dates back to the early 19th century〔(Balls Falls Official Website - History )〕 It is now preserved as a conservation area operated by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.〔(Ball's Falls at the NPCA Website )〕
==History==
The town was established as early as the 19th century by Jacob Ball, a United Empire Loyalist. After the American Revolution, Jacob and his family were forced from their home and potash works in New York.〔 In 1783, the Ball family was granted land in Niagara because of their allegiance to the British Crown. Jacob's sons, John and George, received 1200 acres of land in Niagara in 1807. Twenty Mile Creek, which runs through the area, has two waterfalls. The Ball brothers built a grist mill, a saw mill and a woolen mill at the lower falls.〔 The town began flourishing and soon a blacksmith, tailor, weaver and butcher lived on the land. By 1852 the population of the town, then Glen Elgin, grew to 19 locals.〔 In the late 1850s, the Great Western Railway was established and many industries moved away from Glen Elgin and were located closer to the railway. In 1962 Manly Ball sold the land to the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Area and the town, now known as Ball's Falls, is now a tourist attraction.
