mount Forest

Mount Forest, Ontario, is a charming community in Wellington County, nestled at the junction of Highways 6 and 89 within the township of Wellington North. Home to 5,040 residents as of the 2021 census, this small town boasts a rich history and a serene, rural vibe. Originally known as Maitland Hills, it was renamed in 1853 when surveyor Francis Kerr laid out the village lots near the headwaters of the South Saugeen River. At 430 meters above sea level, Mount Forest is one of Southern Ontario’s highest towns, experiencing cool summers and snowy winters due to its elevation and proximity to Lake Huron.
The town blends historical significance with small-town appeal. Its library, funded by a $10,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie in 1913, and the iconic Mount Forest United Church, built in 1873, stand as testaments to its past. Once a hunting ground for the Saugeen Ojibway peoples, it grew along the Garafraxa Colonization Road, becoming a village by 1864 and a town by 1879. Today, Mount Forest offers a peaceful lifestyle with scenic trails, a tight-knit community, and events like the Mount Forest Fireworks Festival, making it a hidden gem in Southwestern Ontario.
