Description From Owner:

Pop. 7,497. In the Reg. Mun. of Waterloo on C. Rds. 21 & 86,19 km. NW of Kitchener. First known as Bristow's Corners for Englishmen John and Edward Bristow, who settled in 1835.
The post office opened in 1849 as West Woolwich, but the name was changed to Elmira in 1867 after the city in New York State.
Toward the end of the 19th century, many German and Pennsylvania Dutch settlers arrived, some of them old-order Mennonites whose descendants still shun modem inventions such as automobiles.
The numerous black, horse-drawn buggies and their passengers wearing traditional Mennonite clothing, attract many tourists.
