The oldest continuously operating curling club in Ontario, the Fergus Curling Club was formed in 1834 by Scottish immigrants. At the organization's first formal meeting two years later, Adam Ferguson, a founder of Fergus, was chosen president and the rules of play were established. Curling matches between local players and against rival clubs were held outdoors until 1879 when a covered rink was opened. No longer the exclusive preserve of the Scots, curling became a popular activity in Fergus; the rink became a social centre for the community. Seeking competition from farther afield, the Fergus Curling Club entered bonspiels throughout the province, winning the Ontario Tankard in 1899. Today, it remains a significant force in intercommunity curling.
