Adamses / Smada

I deleted these references because 2 of the 3 people said to be in this Canadian folk group had links to inappropriate persons (inc. an 18th century Boston writer); the third and the band were red-linked. If these people and this band are notable, I suggest that you create pages about them first, reading WP:BIO first. Bencherlite 23:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grassie

I removed Grassie from one section as it's not part of Grimsby, I've added it to West Lincoln. Yowhatsuphomie (talk) 04:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Town Founding

I am changing the founding date to 1790. The town was incorporated April 5th, 1790, as is evidenced by the plaque at the Town Bell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hevato (talk • contribs) 02:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corrections should also be considered about the origins of the first non-Indigenous settlers. United Empire Loyalists arrived in the Grimsby area from the United States -- and not Great Britain -- as refugees from the American Revolution. 64.228.249.211 (talk) 12:24, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Town of Grimsby Councils (1968-2008)

Does all of this information really need to be on this page? I'm not aware of any other town that has all of its past town council members for the past 40 years on its page. It just really clutters it up, interrupts the flow of the article, and isn't necessary at all. Tomm007 (talk) 16:14, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely. It is unnecessary for the page. If one would like the information to remain on Wikipedia then perhaps a separate article should be created. ShdSlyr2 (talk) 05:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Banner

Do you think that the citation issue has been addressed? Unbeatable101 (talk) 17:53, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’m going to remove it Unbeatable101 (talk) 03:56, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Opened in 1792. The county was divided in 1850 [north and south] John Greene of New Jersey settled on Lot 10, Concession 1 in 1782 and built a mill.
