Chesley (originally Sconeville) is a community in Bruce County, Ontario, Canada, located within the municipality of Arran–Elderslie.

[1][2] The name Sconeville was replaced in 1868 to mark the career of Solomon Chesley, an official in the pre-Confederation Indian Department.

In 2017, the high school section closed and it is now a junior kindergarten to grade 8 facility.

In 2005, Chesley was able to open a Heritage and Woodworking Museum due to an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant.

[11][12] The building had been left to the town for public use in the 1970s; in 2013, Chesley put Dawson House up for sale.
