 HISTORY
Edberg was named after J.A. Edstrom, postmaster and owner of the
first general store. ED was derived from his family name, BERG
means 'hill' in swedish, and since Edberg sits on a hill, the name stuck.
Like most villages in Canada, Edberg experienced a great exodus after
the second world war. The population finally leveled off and because of
the many advantages in the area, Edberg is gradually regaining its number
of inhabitants. Originally settled by people of Scandinavian descent,
it is now a cosmopolitan village.
It is believed that Edberg was one of the first communities west of Ontario
to have its own water and sewer system.
