History
German settlers who first settled were Richard and Knickle who came from Lunenburg. Settled prior to 1767.
An early immigrant to Bayswater was James Boutilier from Montbéliard, eastern France. He had nine children; the first was born in Bayswater in 1862.
The village is probably named after Bayswater in England, an area of west London in the City of Westminster. It is a residential district located three miles (4.8 km) west-northwest of Charing Cross and borders the north side of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
Bayswater was initially named Sandy Beaches.
