@ocanada.daily: This is Brantford, Ontario — The Telephone City! 📞 In July 1874, at his family's farmhouse right here, Alexander Graham Bell cracked the secret of the telephone — "the telephone problem was solved at my father's home." The Mohawk Chapel (1785) is Ontario's oldest surviving church, the city is named for Joseph Brant — and it's the hometown of THE GREAT ONE, Wayne Gretzky, born here January 26, 1961! 🏒 Could you live here? Tell us why 👇 Share this with someone who loves small-city Canada! 🇨🇦 Brantford sits on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, beside the Haldimand Tract, land promised to the Six Nations.

Named after Captain Joseph Brant. The original Mohawk settlement was on the south edge of the present-day city at a location favourable for landing canoes. Brant's crossing (or fording) of the river gave the original name to the area: Brant's ford.
