Type of Name:
Name of the Town in Ontario
Language:
Spanish
Meaning:
Surname of Mexican General
Additional Information:
Residents of this town, formerly called Waterford, so admired General Juan Almonte of Mexico that they changed the name of the town after him.
"General Almonte was primarily a diplomat, and was in fact Mexico’s ambassador to the United States when open warfare erupted between the two countries. He was hastily recalled to Mexico, and served with distinction in the field against the invading US forces."
"He was taken prisoner, later released, and died in 1869, lauded by the English press at the time as “a kindly and accomplished gentleman.” So in the political climate of the day, the loyal British citizens of our town apparently felt General Almonte was an admirable public figure, and agreed upon the new name of Almonte — which we pronounce “AL-mont” rather than the Spanish “al-MON-tay.” And thus it remains 140 years later."
