Joe Vaughan (politician)

Joseph James Vaughan (1878 – fl.1931) was a British politician.

Early life and career

Born in East London, Vaughan began working at the age of eight, but remained at school part-time until he was thirteen. He worked a wide variety of jobs before he was apprenticed to a former Chartist. This encouraged him to become a radical and join the Liberal Party. However, he soon grew disillusioned with the party, and instead joined the British Socialist Party (BSP).

Vaughan eventually settled into a career as an electrician, joined the Electrical Trades Union and became president of Bethnal Green Trades Council. The BSP affiliated to the Labour Party, and it was under this party label that Vaughan was elected to Bethnal Green Borough Council in 1914. He was the only Labour member of the council until 1919, when the party won a large majority. As the only councillor with experience, he was elected mayor each year from 1919 until 1921. In 1920, he was a founder member of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), and the following year attended the Third World Congress of the Communist International. However, he also remained a member of Labour, even serving on the executive of the London Labour Party.

History

In the late pre-contact period, the Huron-Wendat people populated what is today Vaughan. The Skandatut ancestral Huron village overlooked the east branch of the Humber River (Pinevalley Drive) and was once home to approximately 2000 Huron in the sixteenth century. The site is located close to a Huron ossuary (mass grave) uncovered in Kleinburg in 1970, and one kilometre north of the Seed-Barker Huron site

The first European to pass through Vaughan was the French explorer Étienne Brûlé, who traversed the Humber Trail in 1615. However, it was not until the townships were created in 1792 that Vaughan began to see any settlements, as it was considered to be extremely remote and the lack of roads through the region made travel difficult. The township was named after Benjamin Vaughan, a British commissioner who signed a peace treaty with the United States in 1783.
