Discover Historic Prescott: Prescott's rich history began with Major Edward Jessup, who received 1,200 acres from King George III for his loyalty during the American War of Independence. In 1810, Jessup surveyed land to create a town, naming it after General Robert Prescott. Strategically located at the head of rapids on the St. Lawrence River, Prescott became a vital transfer point for goods between Montreal and York (now Toronto), with its first major industry being the forwarding trade. During the War of 1812, the British built Fort Wellington in Prescott to protect the border and maintain river traffic.
