Goderich, Administrative center in Huron County, Ontario, Canada.
Located at the mouth of the Maitland River on Lake Huron, Goderich features an octagonal town square with a central courthouse and numerous radiating streets.
Founded in 1827 by the Canada Company, Goderich gained prominence when Samuel Platt discovered substantial salt deposits beneath the town in 1866.
The Celtic Roots Festival in August presents three days of traditional music, dance performances, craft workshops, and regional food specialties.
The town maintains several public beaches along Lake Huron, including Main Beach and St. Christopher's Beach, connected by a 1.5-kilometer waterfront boardwalk.
The Compass Minerals facility in Goderich operates the largest underground salt mine in North America, extending far beneath Lake Huron.
