We are located in Hespeler, one of the three historic villages that make up Cambridge, Ontario.
Hespeler is in easy reach of central Cambridge, Galt, Preston, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, and Puslinch.
The village of Hespeler straddles the Speed River, and sits within the Haldimand Tract, which was originally part of the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Jacob Hespeler founded the village in 1845, and named it New Hope, then Bergeytown. It was incorporated as Hespeler in 1859.
