Stratford Ontario
Stratford is a city on the Avon River within Perth County in southwestern Ontario, Canada, with a 2016 population of 31,500 in a land location of 28 square kilometers. Stratford is the seat of Perth County, which was settled by English, Irish, Scottish and German immigrants, in practically equivalent numbers, beginning in the 1820s but mainly in the 1830s and 1840s. Many became farmers, and even today, the area around Stratford is known for blended farming, dairying, and hog production.
The land on which the location exists is the standard area of the Anishinaabeg people. When the location, which is now Stratford was very first settled in 1832, the townsite and the river were named after Stratford-upon-Avon, England. Stratford was incorporated as a town in 1859 and as a city in 1886. The first mayor was John Corry Wilson Daly, and the present mayor is Dan Mathieson. The swan has actually ended up being a symbol of the city. Each year twenty-four white swans are released into the Avon River. The town is well known for being the home of the Stratford Festival previously referred to as the Stratford Shakespeare Festival; while Shakespeare’s plays are still produced, theatre in a wide range of categories is offered each year, from May to October.
The city is in an effective agricultural location and has some car parts manufacturing. However, tourism is still the most significant element. The Royal Bank of Canada opened a $300 million data center here, Starwood Hotels is experimenting with a new type of call center, and the University of Waterloo has actually opened a satellite campus with about 500 students specializing in digital media and info technology, and as the home of the online technology forum Canada 3.0 and various technology companies.
