Description From Owner:

Pop. 171. In Simcoe C. on the Wye R. and Hwy. 93, 6 km SE of Midland.
Angus Grant first named the place Macville after his father- in-law Michael MacDonald, but in 1861 it was renamed Wyebridge, taking its name for a bridge over the River Wye.
That river had first been called Yeo River after James Yeo, a naval commander during the War of 1812. But the crooked river reminded settlers of the River Wye in England and they renamed it.
CORRECTION SUBMITTED JAN.15, 2018 (See public reviews): Angus Grant first named the place Macville after his father- in-law John 'LeBorgne' McDonell

I believe the wording 'Angus Grant first named the place Macville after his father- in-law Michael MacDonald, but in 1861 it was renamed Wyebridge, taking its name for a bridge over the River Wye.' contains an error. 'Michael MacDonald' should be 'John 'LeBorgne' McDonell'. Brian
