Bradford West Gwillimbury

Bradford West Gwillimbury is a municipality in Simcoe County that combines residential neighborhoods with significant agricultural land, particularly the Holland Marsh growing region. The area spreads across 200 square kilometers and mixes urban development with farming operations.

The municipality formed in 1991 when Bradford town merged with portions of West Gwillimbury and Tecumseth townships. This consolidation created a new administrative body to serve the growing regional population.

The annual Carrot Fest draws vendors and entertainers to celebrate the area's farming roots and heritage. Visitors experience how agriculture shapes daily life and community identity in this region.

The Bradford GO Station provides regular train service to Toronto on the Barrie line, connecting the area to the wider regional network. Local bus service operates throughout the municipality for getting around without a car.

The Holland Marsh within the municipality is one of Canada's richest growing regions, producing a substantial share of the nation's vegetables. This fertile former wetland was engineered for farming and remains economically vital to the area.
