| Publisher Description: Sconeville was the name of the settlement that developed here following the erection of mills on the Saugeen River by Adam Elliot in 1858-1859. A post office, named after Solomon Chesley, a former Indian Department official, was established in 1865 and the village took on the name of Chesley. A branch of the Grand Trunk Railway was completed to Chesley in 1881 facilitating its development as a centre for agricultural businesses and the shipment of produce, livestock, lumber and bark.Chesley is located in Bruce County on Sideroad 30 North; it is north of Walkerton on Bruce Road 19, and north of Hanover on County Road 10. |
