Â
The beginnings of Bracebridge reach as far back as 1860, but the village became official in 1875. It was settled due to the abundant water surrounding the area. The waterfalls were a major draw, offering power to the town’s first factories. When steamboats grew in popularity, the town became a trade and shipping centre for the Muskoka region. Bracebridge was the first town in Ontario to have its own hydro generating station.Â
