    Administrative history

    Knox Presbyterian Church in Dunnville, Ontario, traces its origins to 1833, when the Presbyterians in the area began to meet together for worship. In 1834, they were organized under the Niagara Presbytery of the American Presbyterian Church. By 1835, however, the congregation had joined the Presbytery of Hamilton within the Presbyterian Church in Canada. In 1845, property at Lot 19 on the north side of Lock Street was purchased and a church building was constructed soon after. This building was replaced in 1906/07 and the new church was formally dedicated on September 27, 1907. The congregation voted to remain within The Presbyterian Church in Canada at the time of Church Union in 1925.
