[2] Kleinburg comprises a narrow section of hilly landscape situated between two branches of the Humber River.

The village is located between two branches of the Humber River, and features dense forests throughout its 1.05 km² of land area.

Residents argue that the community of Kleinburg could be named after its founder or after its landscape (although the latter would necessitate the spelling Kleinberg, which is German for 'small mountain').

In its early days, Kleinburg was dependent on its many flour and wheat mills, located off the Humber River.

Other films shot at the studio between 1960 and 1990 include: The Fox, The First Time, Recommendation for Mercy, Shoot, Welcome to Blood City, Death Weekend, The Shape of Things to Come, Rituals, Riel, Fish Hawk, The Amateur, Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird, The Fly and Love at Stake.

Television shows filmed here include: Hudson's Bay, Hatch's Mill, The Adventures of Timothy Pilgrim, Search and Rescue, Matt and Jenny, The Great Detective and The Littlest Hobo.

Downtown Kleinburg and the farmland surrounding it featured significantly in the 1st season of the 1971 television series, Dr. Simon Locke.

In the movie, all of the Camp David scenes, both indoor and outdoor, were filmed on the grounds of the McMichael Art Gallery, most notably the scene on the "Wedding Hill" where they filmed the president's helicopter taking off and being shot down by a missile (the explosion was added in after using special effects).

Stephen Lecce, an Ontario MPP and minister of various portfolios first elected in 2018, lived in Kleinburg at the time of his service as a provincial politician.
