Located south of the Oak Ridges Moraine, Nobleton is surrounded by hills and forests.

The board and batten blacksmith shop originally built in Nobleton in the 1850s was moved to Black Creek Pioneer Village.

Housing developments began in the northern part of the village in the 1990s and 2000s, and accelerated in recent years after construction of a new wastewater system.
