Sitting on the Nottawasaga Bay (the southern point of Georgian Bay) the town of Collingwood has been in existence since 1858. The surrounding area was once part of the Iroquoian Petun nation that stretched to the Niagara Escarpment. This area was settled by Europeans and freed Black slaves in the 1840's who left a mark on the culture here. Many historical locations of interest exist that you can take in by walking tour in the city. Other names the area is known by include Hurontario (because it lies at the end of Hurontario Street), Nottawa, and Hens-and-Chickens Harbor, because of the single large and cluster of four small islands that sit in the bay. At one time this was the premier area for steel based shipbuilding in Canada. Many of the port relics remain standing for viewing. The area still has plenty to see and do, as it transforms itself from shipbuilding to manufacturing. There are lake side activities, train trips and the surrounding area with lots to see. You can shop in the shops here, catch a meal at a cafe, pick up a show or charter a boat into the harbor for fishing, sailing or general enjoyment. Native settlements still exist in the countryside that offers places to take a peek into how the Iroquoian people lived. In order to get to this charming town you have the choice of driving in, taking a boat across the lake, or flying in to Collingwood airport.

Regardless of your reason for taking in the historic Collingwood, you will need a place to stay. Do not forget to check out the possibility of Cottage Rentals Ontario on Cottageme.com to make any vacation trip special.
