Description From Owner:
- Pop. 837. In Stanley and Goderich Ts., Huron C., at the mouth of the Bayfield R. and L. Huron on Hwy 21,21 km S of Goderich.
- The townsite was surveyed in 1832 and the first home was built the following year. The town grew rapidly, and a post office was established in 1847.
- By 1870 the population exceed¬ed 700, but in that decade the Grand Trunk Railway line to Goderich bypassed the village by several miles to the east, and the population began to decline.
- The community was named after the Admiralty Surveyor of the Great Lakes, Henry Wolsey Bayfield.
- Today it is a quiet summer resort with an excellent beach and marina, several historic inns, and a number of beautifully restored Victorian homes.
