The area also has a campus from Georgian College which offers post-secondary education in fields like health, business, technology, and community service.
The history of Saugeen Shores can be traced back to the arrival of the first Indigenous peoples in the region thousands of years ago. The area was initially settled by the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, who lived off the land and the waters of Lake Huron.
European settlers arrived in the area in the early 19th century, and the towns of Southampton and Port Elgin were established in the 1850s. The economy of the region was initially based on agriculture and lumber, but by the late 19th century, tourism began to play an important role in the region's economy. The construction of the railway in the area made it more accessible to visitors, and the region's beautiful beaches and natural scenery made it a popular destination for tourists.
In the early 20th century, the area's economy began to diversify, with the establishment of several small manufacturing businesses. The region also became a popular location for summer cottages, with many wealthy families from Toronto and other urban areas building vacation homes in the area.
In 1999, the towns of Southampton and Port Elgin, and the village of Tiverton were amalgamated to form the municipality of Saugeen Shores. Today, the municipality is known for its beautiful beaches, recreational opportunities, and a strong sense of community. The economy is based largely on tourism and the service sector, but also on agriculture and manufacturing. The municipality has been working in recent years to promote sustainable economic development and to preserve its natural and cultural heritage.
