Billy Green Falls

Billy Green Falls is named after Billy Green, who served as a scout for the British during the battle in 1813.

During the war of 1812, Billy and his brother Levi scouted the approach of American troops. Due to his knowledge of the local terrain, Billy led the British soldiers during their three hour march to meet the enemy forces at their encampment in Stoney Creek. A battle ensued, with the British emerging as the victors.

In 1875, aged 81, Billy Green was awarded a pension for his service. He died two years later, in 1877, and a memorial stone was erected in his honour.
