History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The area was first settled by Europeans circa 1793. The town of Nanticoke was formed from the town of Lisle in 1831. The two villages, Glen Aubrey and Nanticoke, grew up around flour and lumber mills. Nanticoke people had been pushed from their home in Chesapeake Bay first to Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, south of Nanticoke, New York. Later they were pushed again and resettled north once more, in Nanticoke, Ontario.
