Plympton–Wyoming is a town in the Canadian province of Ontario, located in Lambton County immediately east of Sarnia. It is the seat of the Lambton County Council. The town's first mayor was Patricia Davidson, who was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 2006 federal election as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Sarnia—Lambton. Davidson also served as mayor of the village of Wyoming for ten years prior to her election as mayor of the amalgamated town. Davidson was succeeded as mayor by former town councillor and deputy mayor Lonny Napper in March 2006. The township is governed by a seven-member Council, including a Mayor and Deputy Mayor. The name Wyoming derives from the Munsee name xwé:wamənk, meaning "at the big river flat." Plympton is named after Plympton in Devon, England. History The town was created in 2001, amalgamating the Township of Plympton with the formerly independent Village of Wyoming. The township of Plympton was established in 1833 by settlers under the patronage of Lord Egremont, at roughly the same time as the settlement of Camlachie, Ontario. The pre-amalgamation Village of Plympton was a party to a Supreme Court of Canada case in 1980, Homex Realty and Development v. Wyoming, which addressed issues of procedural fairness with regard to the village's municipal bylaws regarding property transfer. On May 2, 1983, an F4 tornado tore through the town, injuring 13 and levelling / sweeping away multiple houses leaving dozens homeless. It tracked for 30 km (19 mi) and had a peak width of 400 m (1,300 ft). Winds topped out at an estimated 400 km/h (250 mph). Communities The main population centre is Wyoming. The town also comprises the communities of Aberarder, Beverly Glen, Blue Point, Blue Point Bay, Bonnie Doone, Camlachie, Errol, Gallimere Beach, Hillsborough Beach, Huron Heights, Kennedy Acres, Kertch, Mandaumin, Reece's Corners, Uttoxeter, Wanstead and Wellington Beach. The town has three public schools, Errol Village Public School, Aberarder Central School, and Plympton–Wyoming Public School. The town has one Catholic separate school, Holy Rosary Catholic School. The town has one private Christian School, Wyoming John Knox Christian School, operating since the 1950s, with a school being built in 1958; the school is associated with the Christian Reformed tradition and with Edvance, an Ontario network of Christian schools. The area has no secondary schools, with different areas falling into the catchment areas for other local secondary schools
