About
Spend your day visiting Bolton’s historic past with a walk along the Humber River and surrounding neighborhoods. This tour is a loop that follows a stretch of the Humber River running through Bolton Mill Park and then continues, south of the river. British immigrant George Bolton purchased this land in 1821 and became the first settler to develop this part of the Humber River Valley. His flour mill, built at the bend in Mill Street, was the catalyst for our riverside community that eventually developed into the Bolton we know today.
