City of London Information 2001 Census:
The Village of Lambeth has been known by a number of different names: Wahoo, a native name, The Junction, because it was located at the junction of two crossroads; St. Andrews, the name given on Westminster Township Plan No. 27, dated June 18, 1853; Lambeth, at the request of the Post Master, John Chalmers, the name was changed from “Westminster” by which name mail had been received. This change was authorized by the Post Office Inspector, Gilbert E. Griffith, March, 1857. Slab Town was a nick name given because of the planked roads. Among the first white settlers was Abraham Patrick who came from Niagara Falls, in 1809, after obtaining 200 acres of land, Lot 71, West Talbot Road. His house, the first to be built in Lambeth, was on the east side of the Dingman Creek. He is credited with cutting the road down the winding hill into Byron. Another settler was Jeremiah Schram who came to Lambeth, after a brief sojourn in Delaware, in 1810 or 1811. In 1826 he bequeathed the northeast corner of his property for a burying ground and a place of worship. Architectural Styles:
