AboutTown of Ridgetown


A wonderful town full of caring people!


We’re a small town with a big heart. A beautifully landscaped and tree-filled gem located halfway between Windsor and London, Ridgetown has everything you need and a whole lot you didn't expect.

Ridgetown is a community of 3,000+ people located in the sunny southeast corner of the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. Just a few kilometres south of HWY 401, Ridgetown offers shopping, banking, restaurants, library, golf course, arena, swimming pool, gym, public parks and an active senior centre. You are secure with our fire department and ambulance services. Close to Lake Erie with its parks and beaches, nearby Rondeau Provincial Park, Erieau, and Mitchell’s Bay provide ample boating, fishing, camping and other recreational opportunities. Surrounded by southwestern Ontario’s rich farming community, local produce is readily available at the Saturday Farmer’s Market, as well as at a number of independent farm markets. Ridgetown schools include both Public and Catholic elementary schools, a Public high school and the Ridgetown Campus of the University of Guelph. Schools in neighbouring communities are available as well, and public transit operates throughout Chatham-Kent. Numerous service clubs and organizations benefit the entire community through fundraising and event sponsorship, and provide networking and social opportunities for members.

Nearby Chatham is on the Windsor – Quebec City Via Rail corridor and has an array of shopping choices, restaurants and entertainment venues. London and Windsor, with their airports, bustling shopping malls, and regional medical facilities, are only an hour away. With its small town charm and affordable housing while still close to the attractions and amenities of larger centres, Ridgetown is a good place to put down roots.
