Summary from the Ontario Heritage Foundation's website
To encourage settlement on the southern edge of the Precambrian shield, the government undertook construction of a network of colonization roads into the hinterland. The Victoria Road was built between 1859 and 1864, and ran from the present-day village of Glenarm north into Oakley Township to meet up with the Peterson Road. County Road 35 follows part of the former road.
