Bronte is one of the oldest communities in the Burlington-Oakville Area. Founded by United Empire Loyalist in 1834, it began as a small fishing village. One of the early industries in Bronte was stonehooking. Boat ‘hooked’ large stone slabs from Lake Ontario to be used in construction. The first marina was built in 1856, and continues to this day as Bronte Outer Harbour Marina – a full service marina & boatyard.
