Guelph/Eramosa is a township located in Wellington County. It partly encircles the city of Guelph, surrounding it in a continuous arc from approximately northeast to south-southwest of the city. Settler Adam Argo named a small area as Eden Mills in 1846 after building a mill there. Over the years, the hamlet had a grist mill, an oatmeal mill, and several saw mills, all powered by the Eramosa River.
Eden Mills
Rockwood is the main community in Guelph/Eramosa township. Today Highway 7 gives access to Rockwood, located between Acton and the city of Guelph. The Eramosa River runs through the centre of the village. Anglo-Europeans settled here because of the river; it provided power for mills, some of the first businesses established. They were integral to industry and became the economic engine of the settlement.
