Street Map of Dryden, Ontario, Canada

Dryden, Ontario is located along the Trans-Canada Highway (17). The strip along the Highway is loaded with grocery stores, restaurants and hotels. You can also head into downtown, just a few blocks away. Downtown Dryden also has many shopping and dining options. In 1896, the Hon. John Dryden, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, was an integral part of starting a pioneer farm within Dryden's present townsite, and from this developed an agricultural community supplying the surrounding mining and logging camps. Transportation links by rail and water, and the water power from the river encouraged the communities' development as a service centre and forest products manufacturer. The opening of the Trans Canada Highway in 1935 boosted tourism to an important part of the economy.The Town of Dryden was incorporated in 1910, and expanded its boundaries several times before amalgamating with the neighbouring municipality, the Township of Barclay, to form the new "City of Dryden" on January 1, 1998.
