THE LIFESTYLE Grimbsy, Ontario

The  town  of  Grimsby  was  founded  in  1790  (originally  named  Township  Number  6  and  then  'The  Forty'),  aBer  a  group  of  United  Empire  Loyalists  seFled  at  the  mouth  of  40  Mile  Creek  in  1787.  Robert  Nelles,  a  poliNcian  and  later  lieutenant-­‐colonel  in  the  War  of  1812,  was  one  of  the  main  founders  of  the  town.  His  home,  located  on  Main  Street  West,  was  used  for  many  planning  sessions  during  the  war.  In  1816  the  village  became  known  as  Grimsby,  the  name  of  the  surrounding  township.  Canada's  first  Chautauqua  was  established  in  1859  in  Grimsby  Park  and  Beach  but  by  1900  interest  had  declined  and  by  1909  it  had  ceased.      The  Village  of  Grimsby  was  officially  incorporated  in  1876  and  became  a  town  in  1922.  The  town  has  gone  through  numerous  changes,  being  first  a  small  rural  village;  then  a  centre  for  the  manufacture  of  farm  machinery,  hospital  furniture,  furnaces  and  other  metal  products;  and  later  the  hub  of  the  Niagara  Peninsula's  fruit-­‐growing  industry.  For  many  years,  Grimsby  also  had  a  successful  fishing  industry  which  lasted  unNl  the  1960s.  The  Town  of  Grimsby  and  the  Township  of  North  Grimsby  were  amalgamated  in  1970  with  the  formaNon  of  the  Regional  Municipality  of  Niagara.  With  a  number  of  wineries  and  disNlleries,  Grimsby  now  serves  as  the  starNng  point  for  touring  the  Niagara  wine  region.  Grimsby  is  also  the  birthplace  of  a  now  forgoFen  Hollywood  director,  Del  Lord.  He  rose  to  acclaim  as  the  director  of  most  of  the  Three  Stooges  short  vaudeville  comedies.  Later,  under  Columbia  Pictures,  he  also  directed  nearly  200  feature  films.    Grimsby  Beach  was  once  a  major  holiday  resort.  Grimsby  Park  started  in  1846  as  a  park  for  the  Hamilton  district  of  the  Methodist  Church.  In  1910,  the  park’s  new  owner,  Harry  Wylie,  modernized  the  park  with  carousels,  a  moNon  picture  theater,  and  a  "Figure  8"  roller  coaster.  Canada  Steamship  Lines  bought  out  the  park  in  1916,  but  the  park  declined  through  the  1920s,  mainly  due  to  mulNple  fires  that  consumed  many  of  the  wooden  buildings.  OperaNons  conNnued  unNl  1949,  with  aFracNons  gradually  closing  and  developers  buying  land  to  build  houses.    Grimsby  is  closer  than  you’d  think.  Just  1  hour  from  downtown  Toronto,  30  minutes  from  Oakville  and  30  minutes  from  downtown  Niagara  Falls  and  the  United  States  Border.  Not  only  is  Grimsby  accessibly  by  the  QEW  and  other  local  roads,  it  also  has  the  convenience  of  VIA  Rail  and  GO  Transit  for  a  quick  commute  to  the  downtown  core.    Situated  on  the  shores  of  Lake  Ontario  and  bordered  by  the  Niagara  Escarpment,  Grimsby  features  excellent  public  and  private  schools.  Tour  wineries,  Art  fesNvals,  camping,  fishing,  boaNng  and  experience  a  life  you  never  knew  existed.
