Notable places
History & housing stock
Architectural era · Georgian and Victorian heritage waterfront (~1830–1900), with modern estate rebuilds
Old Oakville was founded in 1827 by William Chisholm and grew as a shipbuilding and shipping port at the mouth of Sixteen Mile Creek. The Downtown Oakville commercial strip and the lakefront residential streets preserve much of the original 19th-century character, and the area is anchored by the Erchless Estate (now the Oakville Museum). Real estate on the lakefront and in the streets immediately behind the main street routinely commands the highest prices in the western GTA outside Toronto proper.
