Stratford Ontario Wall Art

Stratford (population 32,000) is a small city located in Southwestern Ontario and is the county seat of Perth County. The city was named after Stratford-upon-Avon, England and it lies on a river known as the Avon. It was founded in 1832 when European settlers lived on ths townsite and it became a city in 1886. In its early history, the city was a railway junction due to its location at the junction of the Canadian National Railway and Goderich-Exeter Railway. However, today it is probably best-known for its world renowned Shakespearean Theatre, the Stratford Festival Theatre, which opened in 1953 and numerous Canadian actors have performed there in its history. In recent years the city has been consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful cities in Ontario and Canada in part due to its many awards received at the not-for-profit Communities in Bloom organization. These awards include excellence for civic pride, cleanliness, heritage, urban forestry, gardens and landscapes. In 1997, it was declared the "World's Most Beautiful City." The city's arts and culture scene is renowned due to its many festivals, galleries and history.
