Westover, Ontario is a hamlet west of Flamborough in Hamilton, Ontario. In the late 18th century the area was known as Donnybrook (distinct from Donnybrook, Ontario in Huron County). One of the first settlers was William Reid, who arrived in the area in 1798. He sold his land to John Westover in 1828. In 1830, Westover returned with his wife Lydia Havens to settle in Donnybrook. They were both Baptists. The town was likely named for him, since he had established a post office on his land and at his expense in 1835.
