Midland, Administrative town in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada

Midland sits at the southern end of Georgian Bay's 30,000 Islands, featuring large harbor installations and grain elevators that serve maritime operations.

The Midland Railway of Canada established its terminus at Mundy's Bay in 1871, leading to the area's settlement and incorporation as a town in 1890.

The town center displays murals by Fred Lenz, including a detailed painting depicting an encounter between a native person and Jesuit missionary Jean de Brebeuf.

The Simcoe County LINX bus system connects Midland to neighboring areas, while the local airport and 125-bed hospital serve regional transportation and healthcare needs.

The annual Butter Tart Festival in June draws large crowds, with vendors selling over 100,000 butter tarts during the 2016 celebration.
