In 1827 Oakville was founded by Colonel William Chisholm, after he purchased 1,000 acres of Crown land at the mouth of Sixteen Mile Creek. Chisholm's great dream of building a privately owned harbour for Upper Canada was quickly realized in 1834, when Oakville was declared a Port of Entry into Canada. Main exports included pine timbers and oak staves.
As business prospered, so did other industries including wheat dealers and storage granaries. In the mid-1800s, Oakville was hit by a recession, affecting the price of wheat and Oakville's foundry and harbour business. To offset the depression, fruit growing became a considerable business, and in particular Oakville was actively trading strawberries, spurring a basket manufacturing plant.
After a recession and the building of the railroad, the harbour business weakened and Oakville became a holiday destination for many. It became fashionable to summer in Oakville. Oakville also became a destination for the Royal Canadian Yacht Club Races from Toronto. The Oakville Yacht Club was built in 1907.
Other nearby attractions include: Lion's Valley Park, Gairloch Gardens, Coronation Park, Bronte Creek Provincial Park, Bronte Heritage Park, Oakville Museum, Oakville Lighthouse and Cameron's Brewing Company.
