Elgin Uniquely situated off highway # 15 near Chaffey's Locks, Davis Locks and Jones Falls, Elgin is home to Rideau District High School. Visitors can take a walking tour of this charming Rideau Lakes village. History Of Elgin - The first settler in the Elgin area was Ebenezer Halladay who, in 1818, bought a 100 acre portion of Lot 12, Concession 2 from his older brother Samuel Halladay. That land now forms the southeast quarter of Elgin bounded by Kingston Road and Main Street and for the first decades was known as Halladay's Comers.
