Owen Sound, Administrative center in Grey County, Canada
The city of Owen Sound sits at the intersection of Pottawatomi and Sydenham Rivers, forming a natural harbor on Georgian Bay's inlet.
William Fitzwilliam Owen conducted the first survey of the region in 1815, naming the inlet after his older brother Admiral Edward Owen.
The Tom Thomson Art Gallery maintains a collection of Canadian artworks and serves as a center for regional artistic expression.

The city earned the nickname Chicago of the North during its early port years due to its maritime trade activities and waterfront establishments.
