Area Information
Townsend is a planned community in Haldimand County that was founded in 1970. Townsend was planned to have a population of more than 100,000 people by the year 2000 but fewer than 1200 moved in because workers who became employed at the newly constructed Stelco, Texaco, and Ontario Hydro plants to the south mainly moved to more established communities with commercial centres like Jarvis and Simcoe. While it originally had a few businesses, now not even a convenience store can be found here, and there are no schools, no fire station, no library, and no jobs, apart from the local Children’s Aid society that moved into the former Haldimand-Norfolk offices after the region was dissolved in 2000.
