Administrative history
Keeler was originally called Rutland. When the railroad was built in 1908 and the store and post office moved from four miles north (Keelerville), the village was named Keeler, in honour of Joseph Keeler Sr
The Village of Keeler was incorporated in 1910. The first regular
meeting of the Village Council was held on July 29, 1910 in the Phillips Bros. Hall. The first Overseer was W.R. Fowle. Councillors were H. McBride and C.B. Arneson. A.W. Fumerton was appointed secretary-treasurer.

Scope and content
This fonds consists of the minute book of the Village of Keeler Council from 1910 to 1927.

Physical condition
The covers of the book are held together with tape. Some of the pages are loose. The pages of the handwritten minutes from the beginning to January 1915 are brittle and have been “eaten” away.
From February 6, 1915 the minutes are type written sheets pasted onto the pages of the book.
