I may be wrong but thought it had something to do with slaves who settled here from Underground Railroad. Another spot in this area was called Munger’s Corners.
You’d find out by going to H.E.I.R.S (where’s Edith when you need her!😊)
I believe Harrow was first called Hopetown. When amalgamation occurred in 1999, a contest was used to determine the new name for the joining of the 4 municipalities. My suggestion was Hope. Unfortunately they picked Essex!
I'd heard about Munger's Corners. I've been thinking I need to ask the people I know who go to HEIRS.
Hopetown, I like it! Any idea where it came from?
