"This low area or basin was once a pond formed during the last ice age. For thousands of years, this was the site of Native American activity. Arrowheads and relics have been found on this site and throughout the area. Native America skeletons were found in 1881 during the construction of the four room Pauline Street School and again in 1908 during the construction of the E.B. Newton School, built to replace the Pauline Street School which burned in 1907.
As early European immigrants settled and farmed this area, the pond was used for watering cattle. The pond was filled in at the end of the 19th century, forming the basin, and is now affectionately called 'The Pit'."
