Wellwood Consolidated School opened in Wellwood (named for Rev. J. M. Wellwood), in what is now the Municipality of North Cypress-Langford, in 1917. It consolidated rural schools from the surrounding area, including Brucefield School No. 799, Hazelgrove School No. 798, Kennedy School No. 1443, and Wellwood School No. 135. The school closed in 1976 and its building was demolished. A monument, topped with the school’s bell, remains on the former school grounds.
