Bell’s Corners emerged from the intersection of Richmond Road and the concession road that led to Goulbourn which opened in 1833. The intersection contained just one building, a tavern inn, owned by Robert Malcolmson. A second tavern owned by Hugh Bell from Ireland soon opened across the road. By 1863 Bell’s Corners was a rural service station for people traveling in the area. The general store and post office, once the most important business in Bell's Corners, was gutted by the Great Fire of Carleton County in 1870 but quickly re-built in order to continue serving the people who lived there. |
