Drew, Ontario

Drew is a rural farming community in Wellington County, Ontario, Canada, forming part of the Town of Minto.

Drew is situated between the communities of Harriston, Palmerston, Clifford, Mount Forest, and Ayton.

[1] Drew's rich brown-grey clay opened the door to a booming brick industry in the late 1880s through to the early 1900s.

The 1860s and 1870s saw the settling of Miller, Crow, Whetham, Gibson, Arthurs, Hurd, Nixon, Cassidy, Grice, Morrison, Hart, Bishop, Donaldson and Shannon, many of whose descendants still reside in the region.

Drew's main industry is currently farming, though there are an increasing number of townhouses due to recent development in the Wilson subdivision.
