Vesta

Vesta was one of the many small farming and milling hamlets that dotted Bruce County during the mid to late 19th century. The community was first settled in 1856 and originally called Springvale. It sprang to life following the arrival of the Cannon family from Leeds County in 1859. The Cannons immediately made their mark and assumed prominent positions in both the tiny new settlement and township. Vesta crossed the town line and was located in both Brant and Elderslie Townships.
