Geography
The conservation lands' forests dominate a large part of the northwest, the north, the east including along the Humber valley. These conversation lands have created several recreational areas; including parts of the Humber Valley Heritage Trail. Farmlands surround the village of Bolton. These farmlands and Oak Ridges Moraine protected areas dominate the Bolton area. The Oak Ridges Moraine is an ecologically sensitive geological landform in the Mixedwood Plains of south central Ontario, Canada. Bolton is almost all developed with suburban housing; detached, semi-detached, and townhomes.
History
The town, formally known as Bolton's Mill, was founded in 1794 when James Bolton helped build a flour mill for his relative George Bolton.
The suburban housing developments began in the southern area, near King Street, up to 15th Sideroad of Albion (now known as Bolton Heights Road). The urban area did not expand until the late 1970s and early 1980s, which also led to development of an industrial area in the southwest. The urban area up to Columbia Way began booming in the late 1980s. Housing developments continued towards the southern and the western parts oih the town about 1 km northwest of the heart of town in the 1990s and the 15th Sideroad in about 1995, especially to the north. The industrial area even began added buildings to the southwest up to Simpson. The urban areas merged with the southern part in 2000 and the northwest.
Housing developments are becoming more rare, as the town of Caledon tries to contain the growth of Bolton in Caledon's ward 5.
