Strange, Ontario

Strange, Ontario

Strange is a hamlet on the western outskirt of King City located in King Township, Ontario, Canada. It is directly north of Laskay, and is a sparsely populated agricultural area.

Strange was founded as Williamstown in 1841 with the opening of a general store. In 1854, the community's first post office closed, but another opened on 1 March 1880 through the efforts of Frederick William Strange, from whom the post office and the community took their name. Today, only a few buildings remain, but only the Presbyterian Church and two graveyards provide links to its past.
