From Wikipedia:
Severn Bridge came into existence in the year 1858, when the Muskoka Road was surveyed and constructed from the head of navigation on Lake Couchiching at Washago Mills, to a crossing of the Severn River. By the end of that year, provincial land surveyor Charles Rankin was issued instructions to continue the road northward from the “Bridge” constructed across the River Severn. The settlement was officially given its name in 1861, when a post office was opened there.
