Heidelberg
Ancel and Blum were the first families to squat on the Queen’s Bush land.on the border of Woolwich and Wellesley Townships.
The area was settled mostly by Lutherans. The post office was established in 1854 when the village boasted hotels, several businesses, a Lutheran Church and a school. Many Lutherans also settled south of Heidelberg along the boundary establishing a Lutheran church and cemetery there also.
The Heidelberg Hotel once served as a stagecoach stop between Berlin and Glen Allen. It was owned once by a Mr. Miller who also owned the General Store across the road. Legend has it that there was a tunnel under the road connecting the two.
