Why People Choose Strathroy

Strathroy was settled in 1832, incorporated as a village in 1860, and became a town in 1872 — named for the hometown of its Irish founder, John Stewart Buchanan. The town grew up along the Sydenham River, where early mills used the river's flow and fall for power, while the surrounding land supported agriculture. Today Strathroy is home to about 20,000 residents, with more than 12,000 in its urban centre, and sits a convenient 40 minutes west of London — close enough for an easy commute, far enough for genuine small-town pace. The downtown core is built around heritage buildings including the Clock Tower Cultural Centre and the old Grand Trunk Railway Station, now home to the Strathroy and District Museum; a heritage walking tour covers 12 historic downtown buildings. Independent shops and cafés line the core, and the housing stock ranges from historic Victorian homes to modern subdivisions and new-build construction.
