Ridgetown combines a compact main street with an intensely farmed rural setting in a way that reflects its position in Ontario’s Lake Erie lowlands. Now part of the municipality of Chatham-Kent, the community lies in one of Canada’s productive agricultural districts, where flat fields and straight concession roads extend beyond town. The University of Guelph’s Ridgetown Campus gives the place a distinct educational role through programs in agriculture, environmental management and related applied fields. Lake Erie lies south of Ridgetown, connecting its inland streets to the climate and farming patterns of southwestern Ontario.
