It also includes the former settlement of Cole Lake (which possessed a separate rail station and postal outlet up to the early part of the 20th century).
Founded in the 19th century as Iron Ore Junction, it was home to two general stores, and a station stop for the Kingston and Pembroke Railway. McGowan's Store and Olco Station, and L.D. Powersports (formerly Ball Outdoor Sales) remain as active businesses.
Godfrey is a part of [South Frontenac and Central Frontenac, Ontario] as of the 1998 amalgamation of the Townships of Hinchinbrooke, Kennebec, Olden and Oso.
