Steeped in historical charm and natural splendor, the port town of Goderich is continually described by its visitors as "The Prettiest Town in Canada." Goderich was founded by Dr. William Dunlop and John Galt in 1827 and was originally the Canada Company's headquarters for the distribution of land at the west end of the Huron Tract. Today the town has developed into a prosperous Lake Huron port and is considered to be one of the premier vacation spots in South Western Ontario
