Description From Owner:

Pop. 1,671. In Smith T., Peterborough C., on the E shore of Chemung L. and C. Rd. 18, 9 km NW of Peterborough.
The first house was erected by William Valley some time after 1818 and operated as a tavern.
When Cornelius Herrington, a tailor, arrived in 1840, he and Asa Dunbar, then owner of the tavern, were the only two residents. In 1852 the Kelly family built a mill and the community began to grow.
The post office was established as Bridgenorth in 1854, possibly because a floating bridge across L. Chemung -- not opened until 1870 -was then being planned, or after Bridgnorth in Shropshire, England.
