While the rest of the county
struggled with the effects of new technology on it's rail
and commerce a new community of people would come to the
area which relied mostly upon the county's natural resource:
The land.
In the 1950's two groups of people came to the area to take
advantage of it's agricultural facilities. The Amish left from
the Indiana/Ohio area to avoid the Korean war draft and made
farm land north of Aylmer their home, while the Low German
Mennonite families established themselves in Malahide Township.
