Bolton Property Management

Bolton is a small unincorporated village located about 30 miles north of the City of Toronto. The area of Bolton has grown to become a popular summer destination for many city residents, as it boasts ample green spaces, natural conservation areas, hiking and picnic areas, and a selection of premium artisan markets. 

The village, which was once a small rural farm, has grown significantly in recent decades, enjoying its most populous boom of new inhabitants between 1960 and 2000. The village is situated in Caledon, a large open piece of land situated northwest of central Toronto. 

The area has now become Caledon’s first Heritage Conservation District as it features an array of historic buildings, homes, and parks. While the residents may enjoy the natural scenery, there are quite a few attractions in the area which over the year attract thousands of visitors to the charming village. 

Information on Bolton Neighbourhood

Reading about the history of Bolton, one finds that the village was named after James Bolton, one of the very first settlers in the area around 1814. Over the industrial age, Bolton became home to large manufacturing facilities and numerous corporations settled in the village. Quickly the village caught traction, and a population boom occurred which enabled thousands of new residents to live and work within the small village. 

By 1974, Bolton, Albion, and Caledon would merge to form the new Town Of Caledon. Although Bolton is not necessarily a village or town of its own anymore, it still managed to retain its rich history and heritage, which to this day still lives on. 

With the Humber River which cuts through the village and the massive Bolton Resource Management Tract which is home to soccer fields, recreation centers, and a wellness center, the village has quite the public amenities to offer residents. 

There’s also a selection of beautiful parks, including Edelweiss Park, Dicks Dam Park, Humber Grove Park, the Humber Valley Heritage Trail, and the most well-known Nashville Conservation Reserve which is a quick 10-minute drive from the center of Bolton. 

Although small, and still in its infancy to hopefully become a larger city in a few years, Bolton has some interesting restaurants, local bars, and eateries. Residents shop at local farmer’s markets and frequent the annual fair hosted at the Albion-Bolton Fairgrounds. 

During the winter, a blanket of snow covers the village houses and buildings, setting an image quite similar to that of smaller European towns. The most popular is spring and summer when the surrounding area is a burst of different colors, and the forests team with life. 

Ultimately, we’d say Bolton is the perfect place to reside if you enjoy the countryside, while still having access to the best in shopping and dining, right on the doorstep of north Toronto.
