Loyalist Township was one of the first areas of Ontario to be settled, mainly by United Empire Loyalists after the American Revolution.  In 1998, Loyalist Township was formed after the amalgamation of several smaller towns and townships.

The memorial is a fairly recent addition, located in Centennial Park.  This attractive memorial commemorates the major conflicts of the 1900's and also recognizes the peacekeeping effort.
