South Huron: Highway 21 near Gravelle Street, Looking South
Toronto has served as a commercial centre in southern Ontario since the 19th century. Canada’s largest city stretches along the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, where the Humber River reaches the lake and ravines cut through the urban fabric. The Greater Toronto Area expanded around rail corridors and major highways, including Highway 400, which links the city with communities north toward Barrie. Immigration has shaped Toronto’s identity, with neighbourhoods reflecting Italian, Chinese, Caribbean and many other communities. Downtown is marked by the CN Tower, completed in 1976, while Nathan Phillips Square and City Hall form a central civic landmark.

Few communities in Ontario have a history as closely tied to the agricultural settlement of Huron County as South Huron. The municipality brings together the town of Exeter, the village of Hensall and rural districts shaped by grain farming and livestock. The Ausable River runs through Exeter, providing a defining geographic thread in this inland part of southwestern Ontario. South Huron was incorporated in 2001 through the amalgamation of Exeter, Hensall, Stephen Township and Usborne Township, reflecting the close links between its smaller settlements and surrounding farmland. Exeter remains the local service centre, with shops and community facilities along its main streets.
