Welcome to the Village of Dundalk in beautiful southern Ontario.
Located on Highway 10 north of Orangeville, between Shelburne & Flesherton, at an altitude of 1735 feet above sea level, you might think of Dundalk as being the closest place to heaven in Ontario!

Dundalk has come a long way in 160 years. 'Our forefathers carved thickly forested bush into a few productive acres and in turn into century farms. They engaged in the trades of livestock and wood products. And successful they were. Dundalk earned the reputation of being the busiest commercial train station on the Toronto-Owen Sound rail line'!

The train is gone now and the population has grown from eight hundred to two thousand. Commercial opportunities exist once again for the entrepreneurial spirit who sees the population moving north on Highway 10.

Working to develop and promote the quality of rural life, Dundalk is an ideal home for your family and your business. We have entered the 21st century abreast of the best, while maintaining our roots in agriculture! Come on up to the 'closest place to heaven' and come on in.. the door's open!

The Township of Southgate was born on January 1, 2000.
It is the amalgamation of the Village of Dundalk, the Township of Proton and the Township of Egremont. Geographically, Southgate extends from Highway 10 in the east to Highway 6 in the west and from Highway 89 in the south to Varney at the north (approximately).

dundalk.ca was created for the residents of Southgate and all people living in close proximity to Southgate who use Dundalk or Southgate as their business, living and recreational hub.
