Uxbridge

Uxbridge is a township municipality in the Durham Regional Municipality, spanning 420 square kilometers across south-central Ontario with residential areas and commercial zones. The municipality combines rural and urban spaces with various facilities serving residents and visitors.

The township was established in 1850 as part of York County and transferred to Ontario County in 1852. These early administrative shifts shaped how the area was governed and developed over the following decades.

The Friends Meeting House, built in 1820, remains a focal point of local identity and reflects the Quaker roots that shaped early community life here.

The municipal office operates from 51 Toronto Street South and provides administrative services and community information. Visitors can find helpful resources and local guidance at this main civic location.

The area earned recognition as Trail Capital of Canada, with over 200 kilometers of walking and cycling paths throughout the region. This extensive network supports outdoor activities for nature enthusiasts year-round.
