Jamestown is a community in Ontario, Canada.
Jamestown is the name given to a small settlement, circa 1850, that sprang up along the boundary between Morris and Grey Townships, along the Maitland River in Southwestern Ontario, north of present-day Brussels.
Because of all the James' living locally, James Aitchison, a reporter from Goderich, referred to the junction as James' Town.
The name changed to Jamestown through the years.
