Description From Owner:
- Pop. 426. In Front of Leeds and Lansdowne Ts., Leeds and Grenville Cs., on C. Rds. 3 & 34, 16 km. NE of Gananoque and 6 km. NW of the Thousand Islands International Bridge.
- The community was settled in the 1780s by United Empire Loyalists. Among the first arrivals were the Findlay family and the family of Oliver Landon.
- The large size of these families contributed significantly to Lansdowne's early growth; by 1818 Oliver Landon had nine sons and three daughters, and 59 other family members lived in the area.
- The place was named after Maj. Gen. William Petty Fitzmaurice, Earl of Shelbourne, who was created Marquis of Lansdowne in 1784.
