Midland, a bustling heritage town on the southern shores of Georgian Bay, is considered Simcoe County’s gateway to the 30,000 Islands.

A Rich History.

Midland was a Huronia/Wendat settlement hundreds of years before European settlers came to the region. A visit to the Huronia Museum is a great way to learn about the area's origins, with an exhibit gallery featuring thousands of historic artifacts, native archaeology, and a village replica. History buffs will appreciate a visit to the reconstructed Jesuit mission, Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, and the Martyrs' Shrine, a tribute to the Jesuits killed during Iroquois warfare with the Huron in the 17th century.

Selected as the western port and terminus of the Midland Railway Corporation in 1871, Mundy's Bay became "Midland City" and was surveyed, with large lots and wide roads attracting new settlers to the area. Shortly after, H.H. Cook constructed a large lumber mill operation along the shore with docks, boarding houses, and a skilled crew of 200 men. With railway construction, expanded lumber operations, and an ever-growing commercial sector, Midland City flourished. The sawmill, later named the British Canada Lumber Company, was the first industry in Midland. As many as 4 different lumber mills were built by the waterfront core, which required extensive rail yards and deep water docks to move as much as 20 million board feet of sawn lumber each year. The lumber industry and milled grain trade blossomed with rail and marine access to the port. The growth of navigation between lake ports brought cargo from Chicago, Duluth and Lakehead for transfer across the country and eventually to Europe. Shipbuilding was added to the mix, with Midland Ship Building Company and Great Lakes Shipping. Nearly 70 vessels were built in the first half of the 20th century.
