In an effort to populate the province, the government of Ontario passed The Free Grants and Homestead Act\\\\\\\" in 1868. Along with the settlers the lumbermen, with their eyes on the profit potential of all those trees, soon converged on Parry Sound District. Christie Township was surveyed by John Grant in 1869 and named for Robert Christie, M.P.P.. a member of Ontario\\\\\\\'s first Legislative Assembly. Christie was settled from it\\\\\\\'s borders inward beginning in 1870. We find that most of the new arrivals poured in from Humphrey Township, suggesting they used the Parry Sound Road, linking Bracebridge, Rosseau and Parry Sound. It had been built between 1863 and 1867.
