Welcome to Township of Malden

Malden, established in 1792, derives its name from a town in England and is strategically located along the banks of the Detroit River, providing beautiful views of Lake Erie. Historically, it served as a crucial supply depot, with operations centered in the nearby community of Amherstburg. This site has been significant in the region’s trade and transportation history, contributing to its development over the years.

In 1998, Malden was amalgamated into Amherstburg, resulting in a change to its administrative identity. The downtown area is characterized by charming homes built in a century-old French architectural style, which reflects the region’s rich heritage.

Malden consists of several small communities, including Amherst Point, Malden Centre, and Lakewood Beach. In addition to its historical significance, it has become a regional agricultural trading center and is renowned for its wineries, enhancing its vibrant presence in Ontario.

Whether you’re seeking a lively neighborhood filled with rich history or a comfortable, modern lifestyle, Malden stands out as a perfect choice for those looking to immerse themselves in a dynamic and welcoming community.
