Edenvale, Ontario
The former Village of Edenvale is a ghost town in the Province of Ontario, Canada. It was located on Ontario Highway 26 in Springwater Township, along the Nottawasaga River, in Simcoe County. At present, Edenvale is simply a small blue sign along Highway 26 between Barrie and Stayner.
==Early history==
The village was named by pioneer settler John Culham, who described the surrounding countryside as the ''Garden of Eden''. Other names from the early days of Edenvale include Giffen, McNabb, Walker, Campbell, Thompson, Richardson and Robertson.
Although Edenvale was not settled until 1867, a contingent of soldiers led by LCol McDougall spent a winter encamped at what was then called Glengarry Landing during the War of 1812. The soldiers were making the arduous journey from Kingston to the British post on Michilimackinac Island.
The first permanent inhabitants of Edenvale in 1867 were the Coughlin, Lavery and Nicholson families. At the time, Edenvale extended south to the Minesing Swamp, west to the Vespra-Sunnidale Town line, north to Concession 2 of Flos Township and east to Concession 11 of Vespra Township. Edenvale had very fertile soil, producing wheat, grain, clover seeds and peas, as well as supporting livestock and a flourishing lumber industry.
