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, including Downtown Bolton's BIA - Caledon's first Business Improvement Area and host of many wonderful annual events.
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.
Downtown Bolton (at King and Queen St) is where the village of Bolton Mills was formed - 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, and Bolton is home to Caledon's first Heritage Conservation District. Take a stroll back in time with a Self-Guided Heritage Walking Tour:
