  railways. The river is navigable to within 21 M. of the town; for the remaining distance a canal has been constructed. Agricultural implements, plough,
engine
 , bicycle and stove works, potteries and large railway shops constitute the important industrial establishments. It contains an institute for the education of the blind, maintained by the provincial government, and a
women
 's college. The city is named in honour of the Mohawk Indian
chief
 , Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea), who settled in the neighbourhood after the American War of Independence, in which he had led the Six Nations (Iroquois) on the British side. The amalgamated tribes of the Six Nations still make it their headquarters, and a
monument
  to Brant has been erected in Victoria Square. Brantford is one of the most flourishing industrial towns of the province, and its
population
  rose from 96,6 in 1881 to 20,713 in 1907.
