Western Ontario is a region of
Ontario centred on
London, Ontario. It extends north to south from
Lake Huron to
Lake Erie, and east to west roughly from
Kitchener to
Chatham. Other cities in the region are
Ingersoll,
St. Thomas,
Stratford, and
Woodstock. Western Ontario is not now strictly speaking in the west of Ontario, but it is in the west of the original territory of the province.
It is a prosperous agricultural region whose chief crops are tobacco, sweetcorn, soybean, and winter wheat. The breeding and training of standardbred horses is also an important industry.
The University of Western Ontario is in London.
