Oakville

Oakville is a town in southern Ontario, located in Halton Region on Lake Ontario halfway between Toronto and Hamilton. At its 2016 census population of 193,832, it is Ontario’s largest town. Oakville is part of the Greater Toronto Area, one of the most densely populated areas of Canada. Oakville’s rich history is preserved and promoted by three active historical societies: the Bronte Historical Society, the Oakville Historical Society and the Trafalgar Township Historical Society, each of which offers tours, hosts events and commemorates Oakville’s oldest communities. Oakville is now home to over 200,000 people in 13 traditional neighbourhoods. Our present identity is very much shaped by our relationship to the natural wonders of the land, the spirit of our residents and our thriving industries – just as it was in the very beginning.
