William Gibson (August 7, 1849 – May 4, 1914) was a Canadian politician. From 1891 to 1900, he served as a Liberal Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of Canada representing the riding of Lincoln and Niagara.[1]
Born in Peterhead, Scotland,[1] the son of William Gibson and Lucretia Gilzean, he was educated in Scotland and emigrated to Canada in 1870. Gibson was a contractor and engineer involved in the construction of the St. Clair Tunnel, the Welland Canal, the Victoria Bridge and several bridges on the Grand Trunk Railway. He operated a limestone quarry near Beamsville, Ontario and was also president of the Bank of Hamilton, the Hamilton Gaslight Company and the Keewatin Power Company.[2] On 11 February 1902, he was appointed to the Senate of Canada, a position which he held until his death[1] in Beamsville at the age of 64.[2]
