Car Shipping Owen Sound, Auto Transport Ontario
Owen Sound on an inlet of Georgian Bay in the northeastern part of Lake Huron, is the county seat of Grey County, Ontario. The 2011 Census reported a population of 21,688, virtually unchanged since 1991. In 1815, William Fitzwilliam Owen surveyed the area and named the inlet after Admiral Edward Owen, his older brother. A settlement, Sydenham, established in 1841 renamed itself in 1851 and incorporated as a town in 1857.
At one time, Owen Sound’s rowdy seaport made the town infamous as “Little Liverpool.” This infamy for vice, villainy, lawlessness, and disorder caused the city to ban all public drinking for many years. The city was “dry” in terms of commerce in alcohol until 1972.
Canada’s most famous military pilot of World War I was a son of Owen Sound, Victoria Cross winner William Avery “Billy” Bishop, one of the few who fought the Red Baron and survived, forcing the German pilot’s withdrawal from the dogfight in a damaged aircraft. The Billy Bishop Regional Airport commemorates his aerial exploits. Aircraft flying to Owen Sound may land there. His boyhood home is now a museum of Canadian aviation history.
At the junctions of Ontario Highways 6, 10, 21 and 26, Owen Sound is a gateway to the Bruce Peninsula and its splendid national and provincial parks and beaches. The Owen Sound Transportation Company operates Lake Huron passenger/car ferries that dock in the Owen Sound inner harbor during winter months.
Owen Sound is the seat of Grey Bruce Health Services. Owen Sound Hospital is the largest in the Grey and Bruce counties.
Some of the largest rainbow trout in the world lurk in the lakes and streams around Owen Sound. Annual fishing derbies draw many participants from throughout Canada and the USA. Southeast of the city are several popular ski resorts and snowmobile trails.
