In 1846, this "manufacturing village" had a population of just over 1,700. The Desjardins Canal had been completed and connected the community with Lake Ontario, allowing for convenient shipping of goods. A great deal of cut stone was obtained from the "mountain," and much of it was shipped to Toronto. There were six chapels or churches, a fire company and a post office. Industry included two grist mills, a furniture factory, a textile mill, and two foundries (for making steam engines). Tradesmen of various types also worked here. Four schools, six taverns, three breweries and a bank agency were operating.

Geography
Waterfalls
Dundas is near two commonly visited waterfalls near the district of Flamborough. These are
Webster's Falls (named after Joseph Webster) and
Tew's Falls. Both waterfalls are accessible by the Bruce trail leading to the Dundas Peninsula.
In 1819, Joseph Webster purchased property on the escarpment above Dundas, including the waterfall, which still bears his family's name. In 1856, his son built a huge stone flour mill just above the falls, but it was destroyed by fire in 1898. After the fire, one of the first hydroelectric generators in Ontario was built at the base of the falls. In 1931, a former Dundas mayor, Colonel W.E.S. Knowles, generously bequeathed monies so that the area surrounding Webster's Falls could be made into a public park.
Dundas Peak

Dundas is also near the Dundas Peak, which is also in the Flamborough district. The Peak overlooks Dundas from The

Dundas is famous for the Collins Hotel. After opening in 1841, it has since been the longest-running hotel in Ontario. One feature of the building is a front entrance (portico) with four fluted
