Our Communities

The Windsor-Essex Region has it all...

From fishing villages and farming communities, to a metropolitan area hailed as one of Canada's leading technology and manufacturing centres, the Windsor-Essex Region has it all. Originating in 1750 as a small French settlement along the Detroit River, this is a typical southern Ontario region. A relatively small population covers a large geographical area, and enjoys one of the world's highest standards of living.

The Windsor-Essex Region is truly a "Community of Communities". The Region is made up of the eight municipalities, encompassing a total area of 1,851 square kilometres. The Region occupies the extreme southwestern tip of Ontario, and is in fact a peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides and where the United States lies to the north (Michigan), south (Ohio) and west (Michigan).
