In 1814, the <a href="/wiki/Penetanguishene_Road" class="mw-redirect" title="Penetanguishene Road">Penetanguishene Road</a> was constructed to provide the Yard a land route to British military supply depots on <a href="/wiki/Kempenfelt_Bay" title="Kempenfelt Bay">Kempenfelt Bay</a>, Lake Simcoe (where <a href="/wiki/Barrie,_Ontario" class="mw-redirect" title="Barrie, Ontario">Barrie, Ontario</a> is today) as the Yard was previously accessible only by water. </p><p>In 1817, naval units from <a href="/wiki/Michilimackinac" title="Michilimackinac">Michilimackinac</a> and Schooner Town (near modern-day <a href="/wiki/Wasaga_Beach" title="Wasaga Beach">Wasaga Beach</a>) were consolidated at the <a href="/wiki/Penetanguishene_Naval_Yard" title="Penetanguishene Naval Yard">Penetanguishene Naval Yard</a>. But, because <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Ghent" title="Treaty of Ghent">Treaty of Ghent</a> limitations with the U.S. limited both countries' naval power on the <a href="/wiki/Great_Lakes" title="Great Lakes">Great Lakes</a>, two British armed topsail schooners, <a href="/w/index.php?title=HMS_Tecumseth&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="HMS Tecumseth (page does not exist)">HMS <i>Tecumseth</i></a> and <a href="/w/index.php?title=HMS_Newash&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="HMS Newash (page does not exist)">HMS <i>Newash</i></a> were laid up "in ordinary", and eventually reported to have sunk at their moorings in the harbour in 1828. Some other small craft were headquartered in Penetanguishene for the exploration and mapping of the Great Lakes' coastline overseen by Lieutenant <a href="/wiki/Henry_Wolsey_Bayfield" title="Henry Wolsey Bayfield">Henry Wolsey Bayfield</a>. </p><p>In 1828, the main British military establishment on the Upper Lakes moved from <a href="/wiki/Drummond_Island" class="mw-redirect" title="Drummond Island">Drummond Island</a> to Penetanguishene. Families of <a href="/wiki/M%C3%A9tis" title="Métis">Metis</a> <a href="/wiki/Fur_trader" class="mw-redirect" title="Fur trader">fur traders</a> who had moved with the British from Michilimackinac to Drummond Island after the <a href="/wiki/War_of_1812" title="War of 1812">War of 1812</a>, moved again to Penetanguishene. They settled in the town and the surrounding area. Although the naval base was closed in 1834, the military base remained until 1856. Some of the troops settled in the area after their service was complete providing an English-speaking population. </p><p>In the 1840s, French-speaking families from <a href="/wiki/Canada_East" title="Canada East">Canada East</a> (mainly from the area immediately east of Montreal), attracted by promises of cheap and fertile land, joined the French-speaking Drummond Island settlers already in the area. Later, as the <a href="/wiki/Logging" title="Logging">logging</a> industry began to develop, more English-speaking settlers arrived. Penetanguishene became the local market and meeting place for these individuals. Many of Penetanguishene's families today are descended from the Québécois settlers who arrived in the 1800s, giving the town a marked bilingual nature. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Modern_Day">Modern Day</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Penetanguishene&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Modern Day"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Penetanguishene began to slow down its growth near the 1980s after the railway and the local <a href="/wiki/The_Coca-Cola_Company" title="The Coca-Cola Company">Coca-Cola</a> plant were both shut down; the railway due to widespread use of cars and the <a href="/wiki/The_Coca-Cola_Company" title="The Coca-Cola Company">Coca-Cola</a> plant due to modern water filtration which requires chlorine.
