A little Village, Located about 3 hours east of Toronto, and  about 40 km North of Kingston, Ontario(45 minutes) 
 

The first Settlers that found Sheffield (Tamworth) was the Wheelers and I do believe the Huffmans, The settlement of the Village began in 1826, when James Huffman bought 400 acres for about a $1 and Acre

Calvin Wheeler, a Vermont Millright, established the first Saw Mill in 1830. It made square timbers and Staves for barrows.
He was instrumental in gaining a Post Office for the growing Hamlet. In 1848, The name of the Village was changed from Wheeler's Corners to Tamworth.
Wheelers renamed the hamlet after the English home of Sir Robert Peel, a popular Brittish Pime Minister.

Ninety percent of the early settlers were Irish immigrants looking for vaccant and affordable farm land. By 1857, 
Tamworth had a population of about 300.
Cattle drives were common before the railway had arrived in 1885, they often drove their cattle to cattle to Kingston in 1 heard. 

Instead of taking a day or so walking or driving a heard of cattle to Kingston, once the railway was build it took them  4 hours for a round trip there and back! - Local industries suffered because of the new access to a flood of finished goods from Industrial centers.

In the year 1894, Fire destroyed much of the down town area of Tamworth. Hotel owner Samson Shields made the best of the situation by starting a brickyard.  Most of the buildings were replaced with his bricks over the next 5 years.
