There’s something distinctly small-town about Tottenham, in the best way. Set among the countryside of South Simcoe, this growing community in the Town of New Tecumseth has held onto the local shops, familiar faces, community traditions and historic character that give it its personality. It has changed considerably over the years, but Tottenham still feels like a place where the community itself is part of the appeal.

A Town with a Story

Tottenham’s roots stretch back to the 19th century, with agriculture, local industry and the railway all playing a part in shaping the town. That history is still easy to spot today. The South Simcoe Railway is one of the community’s most recognizable landmarks, with heritage trains departing from Tottenham for excursions through the surrounding countryside. Established neighbourhoods, older buildings and a traditional downtown add to the character of a town that has grown without completely losing sight of its roots.

Living in Tottenham

Life in Tottenham offers a little bit of both worlds. Local restaurants and shops, parks, schools, recreation facilities and community events are close to home, while open countryside begins just beyond town. Alliston, Beeton and Bolton are nearby, and larger centres are still within reach. For those who like the idea of knowing their community, having room to breathe and still being connected to everything around them, Tottenham has plenty to offer.
