Introduction. Zimmerman was settled in 1794 by Henry Zimmerman, a farmer and a miller. By 1814 he had convinced his family about this area's potential and they settled nearby. By 1869, Zimmerman had two sawmills, a furniture-turning factory, a grist mill, a shoe shop, woollen mill, post office, a tailor, dentist, blacksmith, and a school with eighty children in attendance. The local bar was on the NW corner of No.2 Side Road and Bell School Line. Other early settlers were the Bennett, Bridgeman and Campbell families.
