Location: Penetanguishene sometimes shortened to Penetang, is a town in Simcoe County, Ontario. It is located on the southeasterly tip of Georgian Bay.

Incorporated on February 22, 1882.
In 1793, John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, visited the area and saw the location's potential as a naval base. He wanted to use the bay to shelter warships to protect British interests on lakes Huron, Erie and Michigan.

Many of Penetanguishene's families today are descended from the Québécois settlers who arrived in the 1800s, giving the town a marked bilingual nature. Wikipedia |
