Some History of the area

Source:  Harold H. Miller, quoting facts given in "Our Heritage" (a 1976 history of Berne)

West Berne was known as Mechanicsville about 1830-35 [because of the concentration of mechanics], and then as Peoria.  The latter name was given by Paul Settle, a miller who owned property in Peoria, Illinois.  When the post office was established it was given the name of West Berne.  The date is uncertain, but a census map of 1866 identifies the village as "West Berne, formerly Peoria."  I'm not sure what map they are talking about since as you know Beers 1866 map [on this webpage] says "Peoria, West Bern P. O."

Previous to 1800 the area around Berne was called Beaver Dam; actually it was more often called the Beaver Dam.  This was because of a large beaver dam on Fox Creek on the flats below Berne.

It is my understanding that when the Post Offices were established, the Federal Government called them whatever they wished, sometimes regardless of what the locals called the villages.  They could do that!  I suppose since there was no town governments in these two instances they could get away with it.  So in essence, the locals called the villages one thing, but the name of the P.O. was what the government wanted to call it.  I'm not sure when the Post Offices were established. 

As to Bern vs. Berne, I just found an 1801 map that says Berne and an 1804 map that says Bern.  In this case I believe that at the time it was the personal preference of the mapmaker to spell it like Bern, Switzerland, or the use the British spelling of Berne. 

             
 
The map at the bottom of this page covers the eastern 90% of the Town of Berne.  The Village 
of Berne, although shown, is magnified on an inset that is not included herein.

Above the map is an alphabetical list of c. 474 properties shown on the two maps which make 
up the Town of Berne (except for the village).
