The Huron Historic Gaol was established as the Huron County Gaol for Upper Canada's Huron District. Clearing of the land began in Goderich, Ontario in 1839 and the jail was constructed between 1839 and 1842 using stone from the Maitland River Valley and from Michigan. The octagonal jail was designed by Toronto architect Thomas Young, modelled after Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon design for prison construction, common in mid-19th century Britain and North America.
