The Huron Tract lies in the counties of Huron, Perth, Middlesex and present\-day [Lambton County, Ontario](/wiki/Lambton_County%2C_Ontario "Lambton County, Ontario"), bordering on [Lake Huron](/wiki/Lake_Huron "Lake Huron") to the west and [Lake Erie](/wiki/Lake_Erie "Lake Erie") to the east. The tract was purchased by the Canada Company for resale to settlers. Influenced by [William "Tiger" Dunlop](/wiki/William_%22Tiger%22_Dunlop "William "), [John Galt](/wiki/John_Galt_%28novelist%29 "John Galt (novelist)") and other businessmen formed the [Canada Company](/wiki/Canada_Company "Canada Company"). The Canada Company was the administrative agent for the Huron Tract.
