Guelph — The Royal City
Established in 1827, Guelph is considered one of Canada’s first planned towns. The city was chosen as the headquarters of a British development firm known as the Canada Company. The Company’s Superintendent in Canada picked the location; a famous Scottish novelist named John Galt designed the town to attract settlers and the beautiful surrounding countryside. Galt’s plan was unlike most grid-like city structures we see today but instead was quite imaginative, based on a series of streets radiating from a focal point at the Speed River. The heart and centre of the city today resemble a European city centre, complete with squares, broad main streets and narrow side streets. Named “Guelph” after a member of the British royal family, leading to the moniker, the name Royal City is still used today.
