Haldimand County
Haldimand’s history has been closely associated with that of the neighbouring Norfolk County. Haldimand was first created as a county in 1800, from a portion of Norfolk. It was named after the governor of the Province of Quebec Sir Frederick Haldimand. In 1844 the land was surrendered by Six Nations to the Crown in an agreement that was signed by the vast majority of Chiefs in the Haldimand tract.
The population centres in Haldimand are Caledonia, Dunnville, Hagersville, Jarvis and Cayuga. Part of the Six Nations Reserve is within the geographic area of Haldimand County, but is independent of the county. Most of Haldimand is agricultural land, although some heavy industry, including the Nanticoke Generating Station, is located here.
If you’re looking for recreation and adventure Haldimand County is the place to find it, any time of year! Experience the charm of the Grand River, book your tee off time, or find the perfect fishing spot. Haldimand County is fortunate to have the Grand River, a Canadian Heritage River, as well as the shores and waters of Lake Erie, which offer countless recreational opportunities for your enjoyment.
