	Lost Villages
		The Lost Villages of Mille Roches, Moulinette, Wales, Dickinson’s Landing, Farran’s Point, and Aultsville; the hamlets of Maple Grove, Santa Cruz and Woodlands; and the farming community of Sheik’s/Sheek’s Island, were not lost through carelessness, they were disposed of with Government approval “for the common good”.
		Casualties of progress, the villages and hamlets disappeared beneath the waters of the newly created Lake St. Lawrence, but they stayed alive in the memories of their former residents.
		The desire of newcomers to know about the background of these seemingly traditionless towns sparked the desire of residents from the Lost Villages to show and tell the proud heritage to which the new towns were heirs.

	France at War - Vauquois the Lost Village
		The lost village of Vauquois in the Argonne (Le village disparu) is a testament to the enormity and ferocity of a unique underground struggle of the 1914-1918 war.

	Lost Boys of Sudan :: Learn / Teach
		During our time with the “Lost Boys” we came to understand that the single most helpful thing for a newcomer to this country is a friend, someone to help them navigate their new life.
		The “Lost Boys” we spent most of our time with in Houston had pretty insulated lives during their first year and were slow to make personal connections with native-born Americans.
		The government-sponsored militia attacks that destroyed the “Lost Boys” families and villages and forced them to flee Sudan is a near carbon copy of the firebombing, raping, and plunder of Darfur— today considered the world’s worst current humanitarian crisis.

		Clockwise from top left: The last house from the village of Wales is moved to Ingleside, Ont., during construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project in the 1950s; a church is delivered to a new location; construction of the huge powerhouse on the Canadian side of the border was a mammoth undertaking.
		These villages were first settled in 1784 by United Empire Loyalists seeking sanctuary on the north shores of the St. Lawrence away from the turmoil of war in the U.S. Most of the early settlers were disbanded soldiers of the The King's Royal Regiment of New York.
		By then, the lost villages had been under water for a year, their former residents adapting to life in the new riverside communities.

	HISTORY : : Mississauga heritage Foundation
		In 1826, after petitions from Rev. Peter Jones to government officials, the Mississaugas began building a village which was called the "Credit Mission." It is not clear why this village was located on the south bank of the River, rather than on the north, the location of the reserve they had retained.
		After the railway development of the 1850s bypassed Streetsville and the village lost the county seat to Brampton in 1867, it never fully regained the economic momentum it had begun to enjoy.
		The quiet village, which had become a favorite stop for travelers between Toronto and Hamilton, had al so become known as "Springfield." In 1890, it was renamed "Erindale" after the estate of the first minister of St. Peter's Anglican Church, Rev. James McGrath who had helped settle the area.

		The purpose is to present an overview of the project history and a chronological history of the villages from the time they were first settled in the late 1700s until the end.
		None of these villages were very big and the few photographs that exist are mainly in the hands of various historical groups, archives and collectors.
		Although these villages are not ghost towns in the classical sense, they were ghost towns from the time the villagers were relocated to the day of the actual flooding.

	Lost Cities of Britain: The Quest for Camelot - New York Times
		Trying to reach them isn't quite as hopeless as trying to reach the rainbow's end, but the point at which their legend and their geography meet is sure to be buried in a thicket of poetry.
		It is a journey from flint to granite, from a hard bright light to opalescent mists, and it is broken at Glastonbury, not at all a vanished town but, for me, a staging for Camelot.
		Camelot is among the most yearned-for lost cities in the world, and the modern quest for it has been surpassed in determination and intensity only by its citizens' legendary quest for the Sangreal, the cup used at the Last Supper and then by Joseph of Arimathea to catch the blood of Jesus at the Crucifixion.

	Secrets of a lost village
		For every village that has survived since Domesday, there are dozens whose populations have withered away and died, and who now live on only in memory, or as long-forgotten place names on the Ordnance Survey map.
		These deserted villages offer us a unique insight into the past, telling the story of communities which, for various reasons, were overwhelmed by events and unable to survive – victims of war, greedy landlords, agricultural changes, the environment or disease.
		This village is one of the best deserted sites in the country and opens to the public through an arrangement between English Heritage and the landowner, John Garner, from April to September.

		In 1941 the United States Army faced the need for additional training areas and Fort Drum (then Pine Camp) was one of the areas chosen for expansion. At only 17,000 acres, the post needed additional space for training the units stationed there.
		The 525 families who lived in these villages and on the farm that surrounded them were paid "fair market" value for their land and were relocated by the New York Defense Relocation Corporation under the Farm Security Administration.
		It was a wonderful experience, nostalgic and informative at the same time. Come, explore the Lost Villages of Fort Drum with us.

		The railway was part of the Canadian National railway syatem that served the communities along the Banks of the St Lawrence river and on across Canada,one of the villages it served was called Wales and was situated on the bank of the St Lawrence river at the eastern end of Lake Ontario.

		The village of Wales was the only inland village to be covered; all the other nine villages were on low lying ground and had to go in order for the St Lawrence to be made wider and deeper to take larger shipping this was achieved at a great cost to many people.

		The village itself ran along the western edge of the valley with a few cottages at the northern head of the valley.
		The late-Saxon/Norman village was the largest; it was this village that was depopulated in the 15 c.
