Chatham-Kent, Municipal center in Southwestern Ontario, Canada
Chatham-Kent spans across rural landscapes between Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, encompassing multiple communities connected by a network of agricultural lands and waterways.
The municipality formed in 1998 through the consolidation of several towns and townships, including Blenheim, Bothwell, Camden, and the original City of Chatham.
The region earned recognition as the Black Mecca of Canada during the 1850s when African-Canadian residents constituted one-third of the population and managed numerous businesses.
The municipality provides public transportation through CK Transit services, connecting major population centers including Chatham, Wallaceburg, Tilbury, Blenheim, and Ridgetown.
The Tecumseh Parkway features eleven historical sites marking locations from the War of 1812 where British and Indigenous forces encountered American troops.
