Morpeth is a community in Southern Ontario, Canada that is between Blenheim and St. Thomas on Highway 3 in the municipality of Chatham-Kent. It is located less than two hours away from Windsor. ==History==
The community is named after Lord Morpeth, who was once a guest of Col. Thomas Talbot.〔"Morpeth," ''Encyclopedia of Canada'' (Toronto: University Associates, 1948), IV, 338〕 Morpeth was an area of notable commerce in the 1880s. However, when the railroad went through, it instead went through nearby Ridgetown, Ontario, which eventually grew faster than Morpeth. Archibald Lampman, one of Canada's Confederation Poets, and "generally considered the finest of Canada's late 19th-century poets in English" (''Canadian Encyclopedia'') was born in Morpeth on November 17, 1861.〔Michael Gnarowski, "(Lampman, Archibald )," ''Canadian Encyclopedia'' (Hurtig, 1988), 1169.〕 The ''Dictionary of Canadian Biography'' says: "The Morpeth that Lampman knew was a small town set in the rolling farm country of what is now western Ontario, not far from the shores of Lake Erie. The little red church just east of the town, on the Talbot Road, was his father’s charge."〔"(Lampman, Archibald )," Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online. Web, Mar. 22, 2011.〕
