Traverston

Milton Schofield and Thomas Collier, a pair of land surveyers, developed the first plans for Traverston back in 1856. The ambitious twosome envisioned a community that included a sawmill, grist mill and several factories. They named their budding metropolis Waverly and within a short period of time the two mills were in operation.
