Jumbo the Elephant

The statue of the famous elephant who was the original source of the word "jumbo".

On September 15, 1885 Jumbo the Elephant was in St. Thomas, Ontario on tour with the Barnum & Bailey Circus. One night after the show, the world-famous pachyderm was being brought back to the circus train. Suddenly, out of the dark, came an unexpected freight train barreling down the tracks headed straight for Jumbo. With neither time nor luck on his side, he was struck and killed.

In 1985, 100 years after Jumbo’s tragic death, this life-size concrete statue was installed by the city of St. Thomas in commemoration of the great elephant, arguably the most renowned circus animal of all time. At 138 tons, it is the biggest of the big concrete statues created by a mid-20th century Canadian folk-sculptor named Winston Bronnum, known for his skill in molding wire and concrete into life-like horses, enormous lobsters, and towering moose.
