JERICHO STREET â€" Jericho Street is a continuation of Christian Street, running east from Highway 1% and consists of LOts 60 to 53 first concession west of Green Point and is just 2 miles long. The Jericho School is situated on the east side of the Highway just south of the Christian Street corner and was built in 1877 on a lot with a crown deed made out to the School Trustees of the section in 1870. There seems to be no record of when the first school was started but a former school building was moved to this lot in 1870. The only farms on Jericho Street to still remain in the hands of the first settlers families are the Reuben Gilbert Farm which is occupied by a great-grandson of Reuben Gilbert, Gordon K. Gilbert and family, and the Scott-Morden farm occupied by Clayton Morden and family. How Jericho Street got its name seems to be a mystery, but the following is believed to be true. When Elisha Huff lived at Mt. Pleasant he used to call it Jerusalem. He and several otheres used to come to this street with supplies and machiney‘ to work on the Huff place here, and he used to say he was going from Jerusalem to Jericho, which is how this street received its name of Jericho.
