West Elgin

Few communities in southwestern Ontario have a history as closely tied to agriculture and rural settlement as West Elgin. The municipality occupies low, cultivated country between the Lake Erie shoreline and the inland communities of Rodney and West Lorne, where farms, woodlots and quiet concession roads shape the local character. West Elgin was created in 1998 through the amalgamation of the former townships of Aldborough and Dunwich with the villages of Rodney and West Lorne. Its Lake Erie setting connects this farming district to one of the Great Lakes. Browse other webcams across Ontario’s Lake Erie shore to place West Elgin in a wider geographic context.
