Western Ontario

Western Ontario is a region of Ontario centred on London, Ontario. It extends north to south from Lake Huron to Lake Erie, and east to west roughly from Kitchener to Chatham. Other cities in the region are Ingersoll, St. Thomas, Stratford, and Woodstock. Western Ontario is not now strictly speaking in the west of Ontario, but it is in the west of the original territory of the province.

It is a prosperous agricultural region whose chief crops are tobacco, sweetcorn, soybean, and winter wheat. The breeding and training of standardbred horses is also an important industry.

The University of Western Ontario is in London.
