One of the first white settlers in Huron, Flammond came to the area in 1805 from Montreal and established a trading post two miles from the mouth of the Huron River. Flammond was an exceptionally skilled frontier man, highly respected by both Indians and white settlers. He was fluent in English and French, and was well versed in several Indian dialects.
