Living In Elora

Established in 1839, Elora was named after the Ellora Caves in India. It was the towering 80-foot limestone Gorge that runs through the heart of the village descending into the Irvine and Grand Rivers that inspired the name. The village core is still rich with history; its 18th-century architecture sets a picturesque scene for tourists and residents alike. Elora has been named “Ontario’s Most Beautiful Village” for several consecutive years.
