Bamberg, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bamberg is a small crossraods community of approximately 200 people located around the intersection of Weimar Line and Moser-Young Road in the south-west corner of Wellesley Township in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario. It's earliest settlers were Lutherans who came mostly from southern Germany in the early nineteenth century that offered some primary services to the surrounding agricultural society such as a post office, a general store, a hotel, a shoemaker, a pump maker, and a blacksmith, and also constructed St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church just outside the settlement in 1851. The village was then called Weimar, but was later renamed Bamberg by its postmaster in 1861.
