Settled circa 1821
Bolton is Caledon's largest urban centre with a population of just under 30,000. It is where you'll find the largest concentration of shopping and restaurants and the only large hotel, the beautiful Hampton Inn.
Downtown Bolton (at King and Queen St) is where the Village started - once known as Bolton Mills - named after George and James Bolton who built the first water-powered grist mill in 1822 on the Humber River. A number of the historic buildings remain.
Grab a meal or an ice cream and stroll along the river on the Humber Valley Heritage Trail or make your way up to Dick's Dam Park, a scenic gem.
Wondering about the history of this Village and some of the great 19th century buildings? Take a stroll back in time with a 'Self-Guided Heritage Walking Tour.'
