Brockville has the distinction of possessing an authentic coat of arms, and is one of the very few North American cities with its own flag. Brockville is named in honour of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, a hero of the War of 1812. The City of Brockville continues to live up to this picturesque tradition perceived by Col. Gray. Situated in Brockville's historic downtown core, the Brockville museum features exhibits and artifacts related to the community's rich history
