The community was initially called Jersey Settlement by the United Empire Loyalist settlers from New Jersey who settled the area in the late 1770s, but was changed to its present name in 1852 when a post office was opened. [1] It supports United Church, Baptist Church and formerly an elementary school, general store and a motorcycle dealership. Jerseyville's former elementary school is currently (2017) home to Circus Orange, and the general store is home to Black & Smith Country General.
