South Huron: Highway 21 near Gravelle Street, Looking North

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.

Built around the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence water system, Ontario grew into Canada’s most populous province. Its vast northern interior lies on the Canadian Shield, a terrain of exposed rock, boreal forest and innumerable lakes, while the south concentrates most cities and farms along the Great Lakes. Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario give the province an exceptional freshwater horizon; Niagara Falls is its best-known natural landmark. Toronto, Ontario’s largest city, is a major cultural and economic centre, while Algonquin Provincial Park, founded in 1893, represents a long tradition of protected wilderness.
