Fisher’s Glen -- hamlet on Long Point Bay of Lake Erie in Charlotteville Township on Lot 19, Concession A. On Front Road at East Quarter Line Road. Known as Newport in early 1800s. Crown grantee David Secord built small mill there, sold to William Culver in 1804. It passed to Rev. Titus Finch whose son Thomas operated it. Donald Fisher and partner Thomas Cross purchased the 5 acre site about 1825 and severed lots for the hamlet named for him. Although there is no record of a church, school or post office at Fisher's Glen, its namesake worked for years to develop this community as a summer retreat, particularly for Sunday School classes. Other early names for this place were Cross & Fisher and Fisher’s Landing.
