4 Halton s Cultural Heritage Halton County was named in 1816 after William Halton, secretary to Francis Gore, who served intermittently as Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada from 1806 to In 1853, Halton became a separate county with its own governing council headed by a warden and included Nelson, Trafalgar, Esquesing and Nassageya Townships. By the 1900s, the County began to transition from lumber and wheat production to industrial manufacturing, with the P. L. Robertson Company, maker of the Robertson screw, as one of Milton s top employers. Dairy and fruit farms started up in response to demand from nearby urban centres. The Oakville Ford Plant, constructed in 1952, created 5,000 jobs and served as a major industrial employer for Halton. By 1961, less than 15 per cent of Halton residents were still farming. Government reforms in the late 1960s led to a reorganization at the local level. In 1974, Halton County was incorporated and reorganized into the Regional Municipality of Halton with four restructured municipalities (City of Burlington, Town of Halton Hills, Town of Milton and Town of Oakville). A crowd gathered on Main Street, Milton attending the sod turning for the Milton Post Office, 1800s. From the Halton Heritage Services collection.

6 Hospitals Halton Region is home to four hospitals, one in each of Halton s four communities: Georgetown Hospital Georgetown Hospital and Milton District Hospital received a combined $666,194 in funding in 2017 from the Ontario Government to make critical improvements to their facilities, including upgrades or replacements to roofs, windows, heating and air conditioning systems, fire alarms and back-up generators.
