Description From Owner:

Pop. 1,657. In Mersea T., Essex C., and Romney T., Kent C., on Muddy Cr., 2 km from L. Erie on C. Rd. 3, 13 km NE of Leamington.
The community was settled in the earty 1800s as newcomers located along the Talbot Rd.
The place was frrst known as Pegtown -- either because there were seven cobblers in the community or because the homes, built without foundations, were propped up on posts, or pegs.
When the post office was established in 1864, the community was called Wheatley after early settler Richard Wheatley.
Gas wells were discovered near Wheatley in 1905, and by 1907 the village was lighted at night by gas lamps. Wheatley has the largest freshwater fish-processing plant in the world, and Wheatley Provincial Park is nearby.
