  • General Information and Mayor's Message
    1. General Information and Mayor’s Message The Township of Southgate is a local municipality in the southern part of Grey County. It is a rural township with 2 small villages of Dundalk and Holstein and several small rural hamlets. The Township is a result of the amalgamation of the Village of Dundalk and the Townships of Egremont and Proton in 2000. The Township is 644 hectares (249 sq. miles) in size and has a population of 7,354. The Township is the southern gateway to Grey County and that is where the municipalities name comes from “Southgate”. The key strengths of Southgate as a great location for your business are: • Close to Greater Toronto Area (GTA) • Lower cost of living • Lower labour costs • Strong agricultural base • Reliable labour • Close to large GTA labour force • No traffic (reverse commuting) • GTA residents somewhat familiar with area due to tourism, snowmobiling, cottages and events. • Near retirement communities along Georgian Bay • Southgate has a strength in green industry 1.1 Mayor’s Message It really is an honour to be the Mayor for the Township of Southgate. I am humbled by the support and kind words that people have expressed. I am very excited with the new Council and look forward to new ideas and renewed interest in keeping our Municipality great. We have a diverse population that is hard working and creative. From our citizens to our large businesses, we see new concepts and ingenuity. We have a seniors group that other areas of the Province are trying replicate. We have a top-notch farmers market as well as province leading agricultural growth.

For the ‘yearly payment for ever of twelve hundred pounds of currency in goods at Montreal Prices’ the land covered by Osprey, Collingwood, Artemesia, Euphrasia and St. Vincent, approximately one million five hundred and ninety two acres, is relinquished by its native occupants. 1833 Charles Rankin comes to survey and lay out townships in “the Wild Land beyond the Simcoe district”. 1835 Tarvas Indians from Wikwemikog and Pottawattamies from the State of Wisconsin join the Ojibway people of this area after their land is given to the Government of the United States. 1836 The Sauking Treaty takes “in the land in the County of Grey from the west of the Townships of Euphrasia and St. Vincent to a line directly west of Owen Sound and extending south from that line probably over all the remainder of the county.” Except Sarawak and Keppel, all of the future Grey County is in white hands. 1841 July 6, the first post office in Grey County is opened in St. Vincent Township. 1848 First year that what will be Grey County has an election for a member of the Provincial Legislative Assembly. 1849 First horse brought to Grey County. It was white and belonged to Arthur Hill Rigland Mulholland, a clergyman.
