Historic Charm on the Escarpment
A picturesque and historic community located on the Niagara Escarpment within Hamilton, Ancaster was officially founded in 1793 and ranks among Ontario's oldest European settlements alongside Windsor, Kingston, and Toronto.
By 1823, Ancaster had become Upper Canada's largest industrial and commercial center, with the second-largest population, surpassing Toronto and Hamilton. Today it functions as an affluent bedroom community for professionals working across the Golden Horseshoe.
The Niagara Escarpment's natural break at Ancaster provided millennia-old navigable passage, attracting early European settlers. Tiffany Falls and Sherman Falls are among the beautiful escarpment waterfalls nearby.
The historic village core remains tightly controlled, preserving its charming character. Current development occurs primarily east of Highway 403 with new residential communities and commercial areas.
