Fergus
ABOUT THE AREA
Fergus has deep Scottish roots dating back to 1833 when settlers called it "Little Falls" because of its scenic waterfalls. In 1858, the town was incorporated and renamed "Fergus" in honour of one of its Scottish founders, Adam Fergusson. This historic river town is divided by the stunning Grand River and is a little over one hour's drive from Toronto. The Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games is the town's largest and most recognized festival. An annual tradition that draws over 30,000 people each year. Fergus and Elora (Ontario's most beautiful village) are the primary communities that make up The Township of Centre Wellington in the heart of Wellington County.
