Golden Horseshoe, Geographic region in southern Ontario, Canada

The Golden Horseshoe stretches along Lake Ontario from Oshawa to St. Catharines, encompassing major urban centers and industrial areas at the western end.

The name originated in 1954 when Westinghouse Electric Corporation president Herbert H. Rogge referenced the region's shape during a Hamilton Chamber of Commerce speech.

The region contains more than 100 ethnic communities where residents communicate in over 70 languages, representing the multicultural composition of modern Canada.

The area functions as the central hub for Canadian manufacturing, agriculture, and wine production, with the Toronto Stock Exchange leading financial operations.

This region maintains the highest population density in Canada, with over nine million inhabitants spread across 8,287 square miles of territory.
