History

The construction of the Durham road (Highway 9, Kincardine to Durham) through 1851 led to more settlements being established along its route. In 1853, a post-office named Bervie (named after Inverbervie, Kincardineshire, Scotland) was opened in geographic Kincardine Township on lot 53, concession 1, which gave its name to the locality. A tavern was opened by John McKinney at the 60th Sideroad and near-by, through his efforts, a Presbyterian church was erected. A store and a sawmill were built at the 50th Sideroad, and gradually at this point the village of Bervie developed. Early public buildings were a school-house, an Anglican church, a Methodist church and an Orange Hall. At one time Bervie had two sawmills, a planing mill and a grist mill. [7]
