Description From Owner:

Pop. 1,781. In Elderslie T., Bruce C., on the North Br. of the Saugeen R. and C. Rd. 19,26 km. N of Walkerton.
The first settlers, in 1854, were Scots, and the place was known as Sconeville until 1868 when the post office named it Chesley without consulting the residents.
Chesley was named after Solomon Yeomans Chesley, an official in the Indian Office at Ottawa who was the Indian agent at S1, Regis Indian Reserve near Cornwall (1820-1845.)
Adam Scott Elliot was the founder of the settlement. In 1888 most of Chesley was destroyed by fire.
