Haley Station, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haley Station (also known an Haley, Haleys, Haley's, with or without Station) is a small community near highway 17 between Renfrew and Cobden. It derives its name from a station built on the CPR where the railway right of way crossed the farm of George Haley, an early settler on the second concession of Ross township (now a part of Whitewater township).
Haley Station once boasted a blacksmith shop, a general store, two churches (United Church and Free Methodist), two service stations, a railway station and an Orange Hall. With the advent of the automobile, people found it more convenient to go to Renfrew. Of the establishments mentioned, only the United Church and one service station remain in operation.
