The Township of Wellesley is located in the north west corner of Waterloo Region and once part of a vast Clergy Reserve known as "The Queen's Bush", Wellesley Township waited until 1843 to be completely surveyed for settlement. The Township got off to a good start, had nearly 6,000 people by 1861, and showed signs of matching other areas for growth and development. At one time, one of its villages, Hawkesville, vied with Berlin (present day Kitchener) and Galt (part of present day Cambridge) in becoming the county seat.

The railways bypassed the area, so while other areas grew and prospered, most of the Township remained rural and the villages declined as centres of promise. To this day, productive farms cover most of the township where people demonstrate thrift, hard work, and an entrepreneurial spirit which, upon discovery, will surely delight both residents and visitors alike. One will discover cultural, historical, and tasty delights, often lost in our fast paced lifestyle.

The Township of Wilmot is in the heart of the country, and is the living definition of 'small town charm'. Restaurants, shopping and cultural venues are plentiful. But, Wilmot is also proud of our strong connection with our past. Nearly all of our restaurants, retail stores and bed & breakfasts 'live' in historic buildings dating back to the late 1880's. Naturally, each building has its own story to tell, and many have received historic designations. One of Canada's architectural treasures, Castle Kilbride National Historic Site, welcomes visitors from all over the world. A tour through this magnificent 1877 home will have you stepping back in time to formal Victorian Canada.
