Lucan Biddulph

Lucan Biddulph is a township municipality in Middlesex County in southwestern Ontario, spanning farmland with fertile soil. Its landscape is shaped by open fields and pastures that support crop and livestock operations.

The township formed in 1999 through the merger of Lucan Village and Biddulph Township, named after early settlers and local figures. This administrative reorganization brought together two long-established communities.

The area became home to free African Americans fleeing Cincinnati in 1829, who established the Wilberforce Colony. This early settlement shaped the region's identity in ways that remain visible today.

The area sits along provincial Highways 401 and 402, providing direct links to major routes serving Toronto, Sarnia, and cross-border commerce. This location makes travel planning straightforward for most visitors and supports local business connections.

The region is known for the Donnelly Massacre of 1880, when a family died under circumstances that sparked ongoing historical interest. This event remains one of Canada's most discussed crimes and continues to attract researchers and local storytellers.
