Waterdown, Historic neighborhood in Ontario, Canada
Waterdown sits at the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, featuring a commercial district with more than 250 businesses along Dundas and Hamilton Street corridors.
The area's first European settlement began in 1802 when Alexander Brown acquired 800 acres and constructed the initial log cabin and water-powered sawmill.
The Souharissen Natural Area includes a canoe garden containing traditional soil and medicine from the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation.
The Waterdown Village Business Improvement Area manages local development through commercial tax levies from property owners and their tenants.
The neighborhood contains some of North America's oldest plants, with Eastern White Cedar trees on the Niagara Escarpment surviving the region's logging period.
