History

Lorne is named for the Marquis of Lorne, John Campbell, 9th Duke of Argyll.

Lorne was settled in 1879. By 1898, Lorne was a farming settlement with a post office and a population of 75. The post office was established in 1893 and closed in 1967.

Lorne used to have several stores and businesses but due to declining and aging population as well as a troubled economy many of these businesses are now gone. The local gas station was the villages last gas station and convenience store and general gossiping area of the town before being closed down in late 2018. [2]

Anyone from the Colborne part of the community is considered "Colbornian" as an ongoing joke for multiple generations.[ citation needed ]
