Excerpt from The Origin of the Names of the Post Offices of Simcoe CountyAnten mills. - The origin of this name is umque. Anderson and Tennant were mill owners at Hendrie, as the village was called before an ofiice was established. To arrive at a name for the post office, and to do honor to both members of the firm, the first syllable of each man's name was taken, thus, an and ten - Anten. This may not be the only word of its kind in Canadian geography, but it is one of a very few. The village was originally named after Mr. Hendrie, a contractor who built a section of the railway which passes through the place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
