Village History The main subject of the meet- ing, historical research, then came up for discussion, and Mr. W. Oliver, longâ€"time resident of Maple, was present to speak on the history of the village. He traced his history back to 1808, when a major portion of what i; now known as Maple was sold for the price of £70. Later t became known as Ruperttown. after the family of Rupert who first settled here.
