The Town of Deseronto is rich in Heritage.
Deseronto was founded on Loyalist, Mohawk, military, and industrial roots, which has contributed significantly to its history and continues to both define and be embraced by the Town today.
Deseronto’s history as a settlement can be traced back to the period just after the American War of Independence when the British Government obtained grants of lands on the north side of Lake Ontario from the Mississauga people.
Deseronto was incorporated as a Town in 1889. By the 1890s it was home to 4,000 people, many of whom worked in the Rathbun Company’s concerns, which included a sash and door factory, shipyard, railway car works, terra cotta factory, flour mill, gas works, and chemical works.
Deseronto’s Loyalist, Mohawk, and industrial heritage continue to influence the town. Our heritage is celebrated through the preservation and commemoration of historic buildings, events, sites, and documents and through activities to enhance awareness and appreciation of our past.

To our residents: The Town of Deseronto is pleased to be taking part in the Hearts for Healthcare initiative, which recognizes and shows appreciation to the frontline healthcare workers during the pandemic. We are encouraging residents to hang a heart in their front windows, doors, or yards in support.
As our Warden Rick Phillips states: "Throughout this crisis, we have been witness to the extraordinary efforts of our healthcare workers as they battled against COVID-19," says Warden Rick Phillips, Hastings County. "Hastings County Council has marveled at the strength, dedication and personal sacrifice people have shown daily. We owe them a debt that cannot be repaid and whether they work in our long-term care homes, paramedic services, hospitals, doctors' offices or cared for us in our homes they deserve to be recognized for the true heroes they are," stated Phillips.
The heart design can be downloaded at http://quintewest.site/Hearts where it can be printed and decorated, or you can create your own. Participants are encouraged to take pictures of their decorated hearts and submit them to https://pollunit.com/polls/heartsforhealthcare where others can view and leave positive comments in the spirit of celebrating everyone in the healthcare field.
Let's all use our voice to thank and encourage our healthcare workers!http://quintewest.site/Hearts
#WinterWalkDay is February 3, 2021!
Winter Walk Day is celebrated by schools across the province on the first Wednesday of February each year. Walking and wheeling to and from school is fun every day so we encourage you to #JourneyOutside throughout the entire month of February.
A great way to celebrate is by holding an event in your school community. But, that would not be appropriate in light of the ongoing challenges presented by the lingering pandemic. However, we encourage schools to continue to promote walking as a safe, healthy choice for students and families on the journey to school. The activity ideas and resources below can help promote Winter Walk Day in your community.
Share stories about your journey to school during winter by tagging @OntarioAST with hashtags #WinterWalkDay, #JourneyOutside and #WWD2021.
With all the challenges due to the pandemic now, more than ever, Canadians need to be active for their physical and mental health. During the first week of February join with our amazing partners to show all of the ways we can embrace winter and stay active.
Get out and get moving Canada!
