settled in the early 1850s by scottish immigrants, balaclava grew around a mill established by george scott. the majority of settlers came as a result of the highland clearances and/or the potato famine (1846-1857). balaclava was originally located at lot 3, concession b, and lot 4, concession c of sydenham township in grey county (see external links). gradually the village moved a mile and a quarter south to its present location at the junction of county grey road 20 and side road 8. its name is likely derived from the crimean war (1853-1856) and the battle of balaclava, which occurred on october 25, 1854, and in which many scottish soldiers died.
