Haven't heard that angle. In SW Ontario, much of the land was granted by the Crown as "Concessions" - land given to someone for service to the Crown. Today in the area where I am invited to hunt, most of the roads are described as "4th concession", "5th concession", etc.
The marsh I shoot has been owned by the same American family for something around 80 years. At the time that my friend's grandfather bought the property (500 acres or so) his friends all kidded him about spending money for a soggy piece of marsh. Today, it's worth millions, I'm sure
