George Arnold was an early Scottish settler in Ontario, and the owner of Arnold's General Store on Richmond Road in "the Corners". He purchased the store from his brother-in-law, Andrew Main in the 1840s. When the post office first opened in 1851 the community had to adopt a more formal name and was named Bell's Corners after Hugh Bell. On 6 August 1851 George Arnold became the first postmaster of the Bell's Corners Post Office. After the great fire of 1870, he rebuilt facing the west instead of the north. George Arnold held the position of postmaster until his death on 21 October 1891. He and his wife had two sons and a daughter.
