Population:        21,500
Mayor:            Bob Bentley

The first town meeting for the new community of Grimsby was held on April 5th, 1790.

United Empire Loyalists who fled here to the north to Canada from the United States of America in support of Britain established this farm community.

Bordered on the north by Lake Ontario and to the south by the Niagara Escarpment, Grimsby consists of 68 square kilometers; an extensive acreage of this is peach orchards making it the peach Capital Around N' About Niagara (The Peninsula).

Its economy:
As for many other communities the railway originally provided the catalyst for the development of the community's commerce.

In time its early industries evolved, a canning factory, flourmills, sawmills and an iron foundry as part of a growing Grimsby economy.

The ideal terrain and climate encouraged the establishment of tender fruit farms and vineyards, which today support a flourishing agriculture sector.

In Recent years small-scale industrial and commercial and residential growth has enhanced the town's well being.

Fun stuff to see and do:
Artisans, artists and visitors from Ontario and beyond are attracted to Grimsby for its Outdoor Art Festival; springtime's splendor is celebrated by the Mother's day Blossom Parade.
