Located nearly 2 kilometres south of Lake Simcoe, is the former village, now suburban
community of Sutton, Ontario (population 5000+ as of 2001). The transition from small village
to small, but thriving community, took place through the amalgamation of Sutton with the Town
of North Gwilliambury and the Town of Georgina, in 1971. Towns that surround the community
of Sutton, include: Keswick to the west; Pefferlaw to the east; Jackson’s Point to the north
and finally Mount Albert to the south.
Surrounding the community of Sutton Ontario is lush forestland and rolling farmlands. The
south and southeast areas of Sutton are dominated by thick forests, spanning approximately 75 to
100 square kilometres and consisting largely of pine and numerous other varieties of coniferous
trees. To the east and southwest are used primarily for farmland, which covers over 50 square
kilometres towards the east.
Housing developments came in the mid-20th century to the northern part of Sutton and
continued slowly, up until the 1980s, when there was construction of a subdivision approximately
2 km to the east. The subdivision has continued to expand throughout the 1980s and the early-
1990s. Housing projects later slowed in the 1990s and the 2000s and the population has slowed, in
relation. Cottages are also found in the area located along the shore of Lake Simcoe.
Although the Community of Sutton is a rural one, it is well connected to other major
metropolitan centres, via numerous means of transportation. The nearest superhighway is
Highway 404 to the southwest. The road known as Baseline Road connects Sutton to Keswick.
The Canadian National rail runs south of Sutton and links with Toronto and Orillia as well as
Northern Ontario. Sutton is located E of Keswick, about 25 to 30 km SW of Beaverton, S of
Orillia, W of Lindsay, about 12 to 15 km N of Mount Albert, about 70 to 75 km N of Toronto and
NE of Newmarket.
