Niagara-on-the-Lake
Ontario's first capital under the name Newark, Niagara-on-the-Lake sits where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario, across the water from New York State. The town is surrounded by vineyards and fruit farms, with several wineries and craft breweries within easy reach, and its compact colonial-era centre — home to the Shaw Festival and Fort George — draws a steady stream of visitors. It also holds the oldest surviving golf course in North America and the oldest Catholic church in Ontario.
