History
Mount Elgin Residential School was located on what is now the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, No. 42, in Muncey, 32 kilometres southwest of London, Ontario. The land occupied by the school also bordered on the Oneida Nation of the Thames reserve from which it leased land. With support from the Department of Indian Affairs, the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society operated the school from 1851-1862, and 1867-1874. In 1874 The Methodist Church of Canada took over operations. Then, in 1925 The United Church of Canada took over ownership until its closure in 1946.
