About Brockton
Brockton is a place where you can put down roots in a safe, welcoming and affordable community with top-notch schools, child care, health facilities and government services. It's a place where caring and kindness are part of our day-to-day life, where you can gain the sense of belonging you crave, and deserve.
Nestled in the rolling countryside of the Saugeen and Teeswater Rivers, the Municipality of Brockton is a friendly rural community with innovative industry and a vibrant downtown core.
The Municipality was incorporated in 1999 when the former municipalities of Brant, Greenock and Walkerton were amalgamated. The name Brockton was chosen as a combination of these names.
With a population nearing 9,500, Brockton is a wonderful place to live, work and play. We are a proud rural community strengthened by a balance of social equity, culture, environmental integrity, and progressive economic development. We are a hard-working bunch, but we take our fun very seriously!
