About Elgin County
The area
Elgin County runs along about 85 km of Lake Erie's north shore in southwestern Ontario, south of London. Its seven member municipalities had about 51,900 people in 2021: Central Elgin (about 13,700, with Port Stanley and Belmont), Malahide (about 9,300), the Town of Aylmer (about 7,700), Bayham (about 7,100, with Port Burwell), West Elgin (about 5,100), Southwold (about 4,900) and Dutton Dunwich (about 4,200). St. Thomas (about 42,800) sits in the middle but is a separate city. Prime farmland covers most of the county, and farming, manufacturing and lakeshore tourism drive the economy. Lake bluffs stand 15 to 45 m high, cut by creek valleys that end at small ports.
History
The county plan names the Wyandot, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Attiwonderonk and Mississauga as the peoples of this land, ceded under Treaty 2 (1790) and Treaty 3 (1792). St. Thomas names the Munsee-Delaware Nation, Chippewas of the Thames First Nation and Oneida Nation of the Thames as today's neighbouring nations. Colonel Thomas Talbot landed at Port Talbot, in today's Dutton Dunwich, in May 1803 and ran a large settlement until 1837. St. Thomas, named after him, became a city in 1881 and a railway hub with eight railways by 1914.
Services and access
St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital runs a 24-hour emergency department. Highway 401 crosses the north of the county. London International Airport has scheduled flights by Air Canada, WestJet, Porter and Air Transat.
Land and climate
Kettle Creek drains about 520 km² to Port Stanley through a steep watershed prone to flash floods; Catfish Creek drains about 490 km² to Port Bruce. Southwestern Public Health tests private wells for bacteria free of charge and suggests testing three times a year.
Before you buy
The seven municipalities issue building permits and set zoning; the county approves official plan amendments and subdivisions, and its Land Division Committee decides severances. Under the county plan approved in September 2025, new farm lots are generally at least 40 ha, and the only homes split off farmland are houses left surplus when farms merge. Conservation authorities regulate building near floodplains, wetlands and the shore: Kettle Creek, Catfish Creek, Long Point Region (around Port Burwell) and Lower Thames Valley (Dutton Dunwich, Southwold, West Elgin). The high Lake Erie bluffs erode fast, so the authority sets the erosion limit site by site, and nothing may be built on a dynamic beach. Old petroleum wells, common in the west, must be made safe before development. A county by-law regulates woodlot cutting. On February 1, 2027 these authorities merge into the Eastern and Western Lake Erie regional conservation authorities.
