Could this be Canada’s Prettiest Town?
If you’ve visited the valley where the Mad and Noisy Rivers meet, you won’t be surprised that Harrowsmith Magazine ranked Creemore in their Top Ten Prettiest Towns. Around here, things haven’t changed much in the past century or so. At least, the important things haven’t. Neighbours greet each other by name as they enjoy the quiet, friendly atmosphere. Century homes stand proudly on the tree-lined side streets. And one of Canada’s first Craft Breweries was founded in the village back in 1987. Here in Creemore, authenticity matters and craftsmanship is worth caring about.
Creemore Means “Big Heart” In Gaelic
History lives here. The town was founded in 1845 by Irishman Edward Webster who proudly named the streets after his family. The local paper, the Creemore Echo, traces its origins back to 1886. The jail, North America’s smallest, was built in 1892. And two hotels from the 1860s are still standing, The Sovereign and the Matchett Hotel, which is now Mad River Pottery. In Creemore, roots run deep.

Real Life on the Road Less Taken.
People visit Creemore to enjoy the warmth and charm of downtown with its trendy boutiques, fine restaurants, welcoming pubs and cheerful cafes, as well as the auctions frequently held in the local Legion Hall. But when you call Creemore home, you’ll appreciate everything that’s right around the corner: grocery, banks, drugstore, hardware, gifts -and smiles. Of course, kids can walk around their neighborhood, and Collingwood, Barrie and Toronto are a short – and picturesque – drive away. In Creemore you’ll find real life is a little more balanced in a real village that’s comfortably off the beaten path.
