Warrenton was rescinded in 1955 and Geographic Board of Canada correspondence in 1905 indicated that the post office and township were named Hanlan after Edward "Ned" Hanlan, "champion oarsman of the world" from 1880 to 1884. Warren was named by the CNR in 1905, after A.E. Warren, Western Vice President of the CNR. [3]
