About
Once known as “Gentlemen’s Bridge,” Gibson Woods was renamed after the influential Gibson family who settled in the region.
Early documents record a Black settler by the name of George Gibson purchasing forty acres of land in 1804 for a king’s fortune of 40 pounds. Gibson died in 1847 at a healthy 93 years of age. It is believed that Gibson was a Black Loyalist. You can find Gibson Woods Community Centre and Gibson Woods United Baptist Church near Centreville.
