The Town of Georgina, with a population of approximately 43,000 people, is in south-central Ontario and is in the northernmost municipality in the Regional Municipality of York. It forms part of the northern boundary of the Greater Toronto Area and is situated on the southern shores of Lake Simcoe. Although incorporated as a town, it operates as a township, in which dispersed communities share a common administrative council.

The largest communities are Keswick, Sutton, and Jackson's Point; smaller communities include Pefferlaw, Sutton, Port Bolster, Udora, Willow beach and Baldwin.

The town was incorporated in 1986 and was formed by the merge of the Village of Sutton, the Township of Georgina and the Township of North Gwillimbury in 1971, but the area's history dates back to the 18th century. North Gwillimbury took it's name from the family of Elizabeth Simcoe, nee Gwillim.
