Elora Town History
- Elora, Ontario is known for its 19th-century limestone construction and the Elora Gorge.
- The first visitors were Roman Catholic missionaries who arrived in the 1600s. They attempted to turn the Indigenous People into Christians.
- The early European settlers arrived in 1817
- Born in Ayrshire, Scotland, Captain William Gilkison bought 14,000 acres and chose the area near the Grand River’s falls as the location for Elora.
- Mr. Gilkison named the village after his brother’s ship, which the Ellora Caves inspired in Maharashtra, India – A World Heritage Site.
- The Elora Mill – A five-storey grist mill built in 1832. In the 1970s, it became the Elora Mill Inn. After a 27 million renovation, the Elora Mill Hotel and Spa opened in July 2018 and featured 30 rooms and a restaurant.
Where Is Elora, Ontario?
The Village of Elora is in the popular province of Ontario in Canada. Elora’s population is only just upwards of 3000 people, giving this small village a quaint and quiet atmosphere that, if you’re like me, will love that small-town feel.
I’m still trying to understand Ontario’s confusing makeup of towns, townships, counties, regions and municipalities, so forgive me. What I do know is that Elora is located in the township of Centre Wellington in Ontario’s Wellington County. The Township of Centre Wellington also includes the Town of Fergus and the Townships of Nichol, Pilkington, West Garafraxa, and part of Eramosa.
