Early family names were Smith, Stong, Shunk, Hoover, Burkholder, Snider, Brown and Dalziel. A Mennonite church built of logs in 1824 on the north half of lot #7, concession #4, was one of the first churches built in Vaughan Township. A steam powered shingle mill stood on the northwest corner of highway #7 and Jane Street. a hotel was located on the northeast corner and a general store on the southeast corner. The store contained the Edgeley post-office from 1872-1960. Just south of the store, Samuel Snider operated a horse powered cider mill. Later his son-in-law, Abraham Winger and his brother Henry took over and put up a new steam powered mill and produced cider, apple butter and apple jelly until the early 1900's. The area was also served by a blacksmith, a shoemaker, a casket maker, a dressmaking establishment, a chopping mill, a woodworking shop, which supplied wagons and buggies, two slaughter houses and a community hall. The Edgeley farmers club was organized in 1917 and for years the farmers in the area obtained their supplies of coal, binder twine, salt and other necessities through the club. The club's annual oyster supper was one of the community's social highlights. York County is a historic county in the Canadian province of Ontario. ...
