==History==

Sheffield had been settled by the early 1800s, and the village was founded by Rev. John A. Cornell, an immigrant from Dutchess County, New York who settled at the site in 1809. He became a preacher in 1812, founding the first church in Beverly Township. Church services were initially held in Cornell's barn and house, and in neighbouring communities. In 1834, a church was built by Cornell's congregation in Sheffield. The current United Church in Sheffield sits on the same site.〔http://www.sheffieldunitedchurch.ca/History.html History of Sheffield United Church〕
Sheffield was originally known as "The Cornell Settlement", but was named "Sheffield" by John A. Cornell with the establishment of the first post office circa 1832.〔https://archive.org/stream/pioneersbeverly00cornuoft/pioneersbeverly00cornuoft_djvu.tx〕
By 1857, Sheffield's village population was 150, and the village included a general store/post office, shoemaker, blacksmith, physician/surgeon, wagon maker, and hotel ("Sheffield House"). There was also a public school and three churches: the United Brethren in Christ (John A. Cornell's original congregation), the Wesleyan Methodists, and the Church of England (at Romulus).〔https://archive.org/stream/cu31924073590899/cu31924073590899_djvu.txt〕 By at least 1868 there was a tailor.〔https://archive.org/details/sutherlandscityo1868suthuoft Sheffield〕 Throughout its history, most of the population of the Sheffield community have been farmers.
