About Fergus
The town
Fergus sits on the Grand River in Wellington County, and its population centre had about 23,200 people in 2021. It is the larger half of the Township of Centre Wellington (about 31,100), formed in 1999 from the Town of Fergus, the Village of Elora, the townships of Nichol, Pilkington and West Garafraxa, and part of Eramosa. Adam Fergusson and James Webster picked the site, then called Little Falls, in 1833; Webster had a house up by December and began selling lots, and Scottish settlers followed. Limestone buildings, bridges and churches from that period still mark the township. Centre Wellington handles building permits and zoning, and Groves Memorial Community Hospital in Fergus has a 24-hour emergency department.
Around it
Upstream, the Shand Dam (1942) holds back Belwood Lake, a 12 km reservoir run by the Grand River Conservation Authority with boating, fishing, a spring-fed quarry for swimming, and hunting on part of the land. Downstream, the Elora Gorge Conservation Area has cliffs about 22 m high, tubing, brown trout fishing and 450 campsites. The 47 km Elora Cataract Trailway runs through Fergus and past Belwood Lake on an old rail bed toward the Forks of the Credit, open to hikers, cyclists and, between Fergus and Cataract, horse riders.
