Wellington County, Administrative county in Southwestern Ontario, Canada
Wellington County is an administrative area in Southwestern Ontario that encompasses agricultural land, several small towns, and protected natural spaces. The territory includes seven municipalities and operates as part of the larger Greater Golden Horseshoe region.
The area took its name in 1837 from England's Duke of Wellington when it became an administrative district centered in Guelph. Over the following decades, the region developed around farming and small communities.
The region's museum displays exhibits about local life and heritage through collected items that reflect how residents lived and worked over time. Visitors see how farming and small-town traditions shaped the character of the area.
The area has a rural transit system called RIDE WELL that connects the different towns and municipalities, making it possible to explore the region without a car. The warmer months offer the best conditions for visiting and experiencing the agricultural landscape and natural areas.
The region runs a tree planting program that has planted millions of trees and ranks among North America's largest reforestation efforts. This initiative shows the area's commitment to environmental protection and renewal.
