Administrative history

The community of Rodney was originally named Stewart's Mills after the owner of the first sawmill in the community. From 1840 to 1865, it was called Centreville due to its central location at the intersection of Furnival Road and 7th Concession (now Downie Line). In 1865, the village was renamed after naval officer Admiral George Bridges Rodney, one of the British heroes of the Seven Years' War. The centre of the village was relocated three kilometres to the south when the Canada Southern Railway was built in the area in 1872.
The Police Village of Rodney existed from 1901-1907. The Village of Rodney was incorporated as a municipality in 1907.
In 1994, Aldborough and Rodney amalgamated to form an expanded Township of Aldborough.
On January 1st, 1998, the Township of Aldborough and the Village of West Lorne amalgamated to form the Municipality of West Elgin.
