Whither Dundas, the Valley Town? It was
named for the same person (or at least after the military road between the Thames and Cootes Paradise that was named for the same person, according to that source)
But it's worth noting that there's an entire
Scottish clan of that name, and a
Dundas Castle built far before Henry was a glimmer in his parents' eyes, in a region that bore the Gaelic version of the name since at least the 11th century.
I get that the moniker is associated with someone of controversial legacy, but there's more to it. I guess the road being named for the man is enough for the staff and mayor, but I always thought the street in Toronto was named because it led to the town... are they aware of the nuances of the bigger picture?
