Schomberg

 

Schomberg is a historic community located in the northwest part of King Township surrounded by countryside. This quaint village is centred around Highway 27 and Highway 9. Old Schomberg Village is situated at Main Street and Doctor Kay Drive. Schomberg Village features a fine collection of heritage homes and an old-fashioned Main Street shopping and dining area. The focal point of the old village is the Schomberg Feed Mill built in 1884 which has been repurposed and now contains an art gallery, a cafe and a popular restaurant. Schomberg has grown tremendously in recent years. 

 

Both old and new residents gather each year at the Schomberg Agricultural Fair Grounds which host the popular Schomberg Fair held the second last weekend in May. The Schomberg Fair has been operating since 1850 and is the largest event in King Township. Main Street Christmas is another popular annual event held in the village. Schomberg has a public school, a catholic school, a library, numerous sports clubs, places of worship and a strong sense of community. Schomberg’s roots are in farming. The community has embraced its past with the creation of the Schomberg Community Farm a cooperative venture among neighbours who want to experience the farming life without having to own a farm.
