About Wellington County
The area
Wellington County is an upper-tier county in the western outer ring of the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Its seven member municipalities (Centre Wellington, Erin, Guelph/Eramosa, Mapleton, Minto, Puslinch and Wellington North) had about 97,300 people in 2021 on roughly 2,580 km². The City of Guelph (about 143,700 in 2021) sits inside the county's outline but is a separate city. Most of the land is farmed; the Grand River runs through Elora, and the Saugeen through Mount Forest. Centre Wellington, made up of Fergus and Elora, is the largest municipality (about 31,100 in 2021). Other towns include Mount Forest and Arthur (Wellington North), Harriston, Palmerston and Clifford (Minto), and Erin and Hillsburgh (Erin).
History
The county lies on several treaties within the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, and older agreements were also made with the Haudenosaunee. Settlers came in waves from several directions, many of them Scots: Captain William Gilkison had Elora surveyed in 1832, and Adam Fergusson and James Webster started Fergus the next year. Farming built the county, which still has more than 2,600 farms.
Services and access
Groves Memorial Community Hospital in Fergus, Louise Marshall Hospital in Mount Forest and Palmerston and District Hospital all run 24-hour emergency departments. Highway 6 is the main north-south route, meeting Highway 109 at Arthur and Highway 89 at Mount Forest. Region of Waterloo International Airport at Breslau, beside Highway 401 near Guelph, has scheduled flights to major Canadian cities. Agri-food is the core industry: the county counts 12% of Ontario's dairy farmers and 10% of its poultry and egg farmers.
Land and climate
The county rates 81% of its soil as Canada Land Inventory Class 1 to 3. For lots on a private well, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health tests the water for E. coli and coliform bacteria at no charge and suggests testing at least three times a year, spring above all; nitrates and metals need a private lab.
Before you buy
Each member municipality issues its own building permits and sets zoning through its own by-law; Puslinch, for one, asks applicants to check zoning, conservation authority rules, source water protection and Ministry of Transportation limits first. The county writes the official plan for all seven, handles consents to sever new lots, and issues forestry permits before trees are cleared under its forest conservation by-law. Near rivers, streams, wetlands, steep slopes and floodplains, a conservation authority permit may also be needed, even for a septic bed, driveway or barn; the Grand River Conservation Authority's Map Your Property tool shows its regulated area. In 2022 the province added lands on the Paris Galt Moraine in Erin to the Greenbelt's Protected Countryside; its maps show the exact lines.
