Grantham Township

The Butler's Rangers and United Empire Loyalist were some of the first residents; with both groups receiving the land for free.

It is primarily suburban in nature, although development ranges from high-density social housing projects to large upscale homes on the lakeshore.

It was the location of explosive growth during the 1950s and 60s, which saw St. Catharines double in size in less than a 20-year period.

These residents as well as visitors contribute to the use of 2 substantial marinas, 2 harbours and several launching ramps across the south shore of Lake Ontario.
