The village has excellent facilities for manufacturing purposes. The Conestogo river and a small tributary of the Grand river are now supplying constant power for a large flouring mill, established in 1846, and capable of manufacturing sixty barrels of flour per diem; two extensive flax mills, owned by Perine Brothers, and two saw mills. The postoffice was first established in 1849-Charles Hendry was the first postmaster. The village was laid out in 1846 by David :liusselman and Charles Hendry ; the latter gentleman, an extensive merchant, is still a resident of the village. There is a good common school, with an average attendance of about seventy pupils, under the charge of Gabriel B. Bowman.

The Seventh Division Court is held here. Mails daily. CONTINUES WITH LIST OF BUSINESSE Peter K Burian (talk) 17:41, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

@Peter K Burian: You added your source to "Known earlier as Musselman's Mills, the settlement was renamed Conestogo in 1852. The name originated from the town and river of Conestoga in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania." I was not able to find that in the source cited. Could you please list the page that was on? I must have missed it. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:59, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

I Did not add that part but will do when I get home at 5pm. I will find one in the Conestoga river article.

Peter K Burian. With my samsung s7.

You added your source to it. That was why I deleted it. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:00, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
