Stevensville, Ontario

Stevensville, Ontario

Stevensville is a small community in southern Ontario, Canada in the town of Fort Erie. The centre of the community, the intersection of Stevensville Road and Main Street, is about 20 minutes from the town's downtown core. Stevensville is home to several small shops and restaurants, a feed mill, ACG Canada, ZOOZ, and DMI (a wind turbine tower manufacturer).

Only a few kilometres north of Lake Erie, Stevensville consists primarily of agricultural land.

Plenty of wildlife can be sighted throughout the rural sections of Stevensville. There are many opportunities to experience the outdoors in Stevensville. Black Creek runs through the area which is often used by kayaks and canoes with a perfect spot to launch the boat at the end of Main Street.

Stevensville is also the birthplace of Canadian entrepreneur James L. Kraft, inventor of processed cheese and founder of the multimillion dollar J.L. Kraft & Bros. Company, which later became Kraft Foods Inc.
