On May 16, 1947 J. Errol Wilson paid $4,500.00 to purchase 18 lakeshore lots and the Right of Way (ROW) access from, Raymond F. Crough.

After purchasing the property, Errol decided to name the ROW after himself and his wife Winnifred.

("ERL" from Errol, and "WYN" from Winnifred; thus Erlwyn Drive came into being).

Over the years, all the lakefront properties were sold. The ROW was not passed over to the cottage association, it remained deeded to Errol Wilson. Errol and his family forgot that they still owned the ROW.

The cottage owners eventually took over the maintenance of the road. In February 2000, Errol Wilson passed away. Unknowingly, his wife Winnifred became the beneficiary of the ROW known as Erlwyn Drive. Their daughter Dorrell, gained Power of Attorney over the ROW and eventually sold it to the Erlwyn Drive Residents Association on February 14, 2003 for $3,300.00
