Nantyr Shores is truly a name that brings together the past and present of our community. We believe our name clearly establishes our community roots, which will enable us to build our future! “Nantyr” was the name of the original 1840’s settlement located on the 7th Line of Innisfil and the 20th Sideroad and was named after the Welsh ancestral home of the first member of parliament for the area. All that remains of this community is the original Nantyr School, which is now a private residence. “Shores” reflects our proximity to Lake Simcoe and the importance of the lake in the development of our early community.
Innisfil is a town located on the western shore of Lake Simcoe in Simcoe County, immediately south of Barrie and 80 kilometres north of Toronto. It has historically been a rural area, but growth in the Barrie area and the Greater Toronto Area has meant greater residential development in Innisfil. Alcona is the largest district in Innisfil, and it's still growing. Up until the last 35 years, it was a cottage destination. Today it is a vibrant hub of activity year-round.
