Haslam (surname)
Haslam is a surname originating in England since the Anglo Saxons. One source says it originated from a village in Lancashire that doesn't exist anymore called ''Haesel-hamm'' which is Old English for ''Hazel-Wood Farm''. Another is Hasland in Derbyshire, which made sense because records does show the surname originated from the county before emigrating to Oxfordshire in the 15th century and later to Lancashire where the surname is most common, strongly around Bolton.. Haslam began appearing in Ireland after Oliver Cromwell's conquest in the mid-17th century, and in the early 19th century have emigrated to Canada and the United States, mostly around Maryland and Pennsylvania before later moving to Tennessee and the west coast. Convicts with Haslam around that time were sent to Tasmania and New South Wales in Australia, and later immigrants arrived in Adelaide, South Australia and New Zealand.

Haslam Creek
The Nanaimo River is a river on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, located near the city of Nanaimo on the island's east coast. Its headwaters are in the Vancouver Island Ranges of central Vancouver Island and its mouth, the Nanaimo River estuary, is at the south end of Nanaimo Harbour in the Strait of Georgia. The estuary is part of the Pacific Estuary Conservation Program. The river and its drainage basin contain a wide range of industrial and recreational activities. Logging and coal mining were a couple of the earliest industrial operations. While coal mining ceased in the first half of the 20th century, logging continues to be important. Morden Colliery Historic Provincial Park is one of the few places left near the river that links to the region's coal mining history. Due to the lack of arable land, agriculture never became an important industry. In 1931, South Fork Dam was built upstream on the South Nanaimo River to supply water to the city of Nanaimo. In 1974 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
