Mount Forest is an unincorporated community located at the junction of Highway 6 and Highway 89 in the township of Wellington North. Prior to European settlement, present day Mount Forest was prime hunting ground for the Saugeen Ojibway peoples due to its location on the Saugeen River. During the survey of the Galafraxa Colonization Road, constructed from Arthur to Georgian Bay in 1840-48, land was reserved for a settlement. By 1851 a post office was established. Mount Forest was amalgamated into the new township of Wellington North on 1 January 1999.
