Renfrew, Administrative town in Ontario, Canada.

Located on the Bonnechere River, Renfrew extends across 12.81 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 120 meters above sea level.

The settlement received its name in 1848 from Renfrewshire, Scotland, and became a center for timber production with the establishment of McDougall Mill in 1855.

The Renfrew Fair, established in 1853, continues as an annual autumn celebration that brings together local agricultural displays and community performances.

The Ma-te-way Centre serves as the primary sports facility for residents, offering recreational activities and hosting community events throughout the year.

The town gained recognition in early hockey history through the Renfrew Creamery Kings, who competed for the Stanley Cup in 1910.
