Quick Facts Country, Province ...

Originally a native encampment, Cambray was established as a mill site between Lindsay and Eldon Station. The first farm was owned by the Jarvis Family, followed by the Sinclair and Wilkinson families.[2] It was located in Fenelon Township, Victoria County until 2001, when it was reformed as Kawartha Lakes.

Joseph Wilkinson named the village and township because he admired the literary works of François Fénelon, Archbishop of Cambrai.[2] He also founded one of the first mills in 1855.[2]
