Halton Hills

Built around early mill sites on the Credit River, Halton Hills grew into a municipality encompassing Georgetown, Acton and a broad rural stretch of Ontario’s Halton Region. The river valley and nearby Niagara Escarpment give the area a markedly different setting from the denser cities along Lake Ontario, with conservation lands and sections of the Bruce Trail close by. Georgetown is the municipality’s largest urban community, while Acton earned the long-used nickname “Leathertown” through its tanning and leather-manufacturing past. Small-town main streets meet farmland, woods and the Escarpment’s limestone terrain.
