Welcome to Maitland!

Where historic homes, modern comfort, and river views make for a very neat village indeed.

Maitland is a charming and picturesque riverside community with roots stretching back to the 1750s. Nestled along the banks of the St. Lawrence River in the heart of the Thousand Islands, it is one of the most scenic and sought-after settings in Eastern Ontario — a place where heritage character and natural beauty come together in everyday life.

The village sits comfortably between Brockville and Prescott, offering a peaceful residential atmosphere without sacrificing convenience. Highway 2 runs directly through the village, and Highways 401 and 416 are just minutes away, placing Ottawa and Kingston each within a one-hour commute. Two international bridges to New York State are also close at hand, making Maitland an ideal base for those who travel across the border regularly.

Maitland, Ontario, Canada

On the banks of the st. lawrence river

“Maitland is the most complete village I know of in Canada today.”

(Herb Stovel, one of the world’s leading authorities on conservation matters, 2008.)

“Maitland, a very neat village indeed.”

(John Armour, Jr., a traveller on the St. Lawrence River, 1835.)

“(Maitland is) the prettiest Point on the River.”

(Mrs. Elizabeth Simcoe, wife of Lt. Governor Simcoe, 1776.)

“Maitland has charm, much more charm than many a larger and more ambitious community. It has antiquity in the find old limestone houses, with their ample grounds and attractive gardens, its picturesque stone tower, its ancient church and churchyard and its national historic site. The mighty St. Lawrence passes by its backdoor. There is a rest and peace in Maitland, a haven from its cares and worries of this troubled, rushing world, and it is thus small wonder that it is loved by its inhabitants and envied by those whose lot is cast in more turbulent surroundings.”

(H. Richards Morgan, editor of Brockville’s Recorder and Times, 1941)
