Abstract

The Niagara Fruit Belt of Ontario was first delimited in the 1950s on the basis of area in fruit and vegetables as a percentage of area in occupied farmland, using census subdivisions as mapping units (Figure 1).1 The Fruit Belt in 1951 consisted of ten townships on or close to the south shore of Lake Ontario between the western edge of Hamilton and the Niagara River. Even though complete municipal government reorganization and wholesale municipal boundary changes have occurred since 1951, the township names and boundaries shown in Figure 1 are used throughout this paper for the convenience of reference and comparison.
