Norfolk County is a rural municipality on the north shore of Lake Erie in Southwestern Ontario. The county seat and largest community is Simcoe. Some of the most notable communities in Norfolk County are Delhi, Port Dover, Simcoe, and Waterford.
Surrounding its many small communities is fertile land. With a mild climate and lengthy growing season, the region has long been the center of the Ontario tobacco belt. Many farmers have begun the process of diversifying their crop selections as tobacco consumption continues to decrease.
Delhi is located off the junction of Highways 53 and 3. Founded by Frederick Sovereign as Sovereign's Corners around 1826, the community was renamed Fredericksburg and eventually its present-day name of Delhi, the name usually attributed locally to a postmaster honoring a major city of the British Empire, Delhi, India. Prior to 1880, this town was known for its lumber industry.
Port Ryerse is a fishing hamlet in Norfolk County southwest of Port Dover where people rent cottages and fish for pleasure during the summer months.
Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Ryerse (1752-1812),a United Empire Loyalist, was commissioned in the 4th New Jersey Volunteers during the American Revolution following which he took refuge in New Brunswick. In 1794 he came to Upper Canada, and the following year received 3,000 acres of land in Woodhouse and Charlotteville townships. Settling at the mouth of Young’s Creek, he erected a grist mill around which grew Port Ryerse.
William Pope (1811-1902) grew up in the lush countryside of England and studied painting at the Academy of Art, London. Reports of abundant wildlife drew the sportsman and naturalist to Upper Canada in 1834. After three extended visits, he settled permanently with his family near Port Ryerse in 1859. Financially independent, Pope spent his days hunting, sketching and painting the local flora and fauna.
Fishers Glen in Norfolk County is a fishing community located south of Simcoe and southwest of Port Ryerse. It is famous among locals for being one of the best fishing spots in Lake Erie during the summer months.
Normandale is a quaint fishing town in southwestern Norfolk County that is famous for its perch and black bass. Agriculture plays a small role here.
Turkey Point is a village in Norfolk County located on Long Point Bay south of Highway 24 on Regional Road 10, southwest of Simcoe.
La Salette, Lynnville and Windham Centre are in Norfolk County.
The Township of Norwich is located in Oxford County in southwestern Ontario. The origin of Norwich, Ontario, is likely Norwich in Upper New York State, where the pioneering families emigrated in the early 19th century. Oxford County Road 59 is the major north–south highway through much of the township. The local economy is largely agricultural, based on corn, soybean, and wheat production with dairy farming in the north part of the township and tobacco, vegetable, and ginseng farming to the south. Slowly, ginseng and traditional cash crops are replacing the former cash crop - tobacco, as demand shrinks.
Norwich Township includes the communities of Curries, Eastwood, Norwich, and Springford.
