The area was settled by the Attawandaron Nation, also known as the Neutrals in the 1600s and the territory was held by the Mississauga of the Credit; the latter sold a large tract of land to the government in 1818 and it was first surveyed that year; the name Eramosa was then used to describe the large parcel of land. One small area was named Eden Mills in 1846 by Adam Argo who had built a mill there. Over the years, the hamlet had a grist mill, an oatmeal mill and several saw mills powered by the Eramosa River. Other businesses also thrived and there was a stop for the Toronto Suburban railway (later becoming the Edgewood Camp) which ran from Toronto to Guelph. As recently as 1950, two churches and a school (SS#11) operated in the hamlet. The population of the hamlet in early 2019 was 350. You will follow Archer, the big red(ish) dog, around to some of his favourite spots within Eden Mills and the surrounding area.
