Description From Owner:

Pop. 9,945. Part of the City of Cambridge, Reg. Mun. of Waterloo, on the Speed R. and Hwy 24, 10 km N of Galt and 14 km S of Guelph.
The community started when Abram Clemens, a United Empire Loyalist from Pennsylvania, bought land in the area. By 1830 Michael Bergey had built a sawmill and foundry, and the place was known as Bergeyville.
In 1851 the post office was established as New Hope, but in 1858 the name was changed to Hespeler after the town's leading citizen, Jacob Hespeler. Hespeler, originally from Baden-Baden, Germany, moved to New Hope from nearby Preston in 1845.
He built a grist and flour mill, a distillery, and a wool mill and was the first postmaster and first reeve.
