Hadley represents surnames, first names and locations. I don't know what or who the village was named after. Probably only those that named it would know unless they did record it someplace.
I know that there was a Town of Hadley in the county where I came from, Saratoga Co. NY. Checking there it I found out that it was named after Hadley MA which was founded on 1659. Could that be the origin? Don't know, but I do know that the surname of Hadley can be traced back to England to at least 1086.
Maybe someone might know and let us know... maybe!
