In 2026, the City of London officially marks 200 years since its founding in 1826, its Bicentennial. This timing follows historical precedent: in 1926, London celebrated its Centennial, and the London & Middlesex Historical Society confirms that 1826 is recognized as the year London was formally established. Long before London was founded, this region was home to Indigenous peoples for more than 10,000 years. The Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, and Lenni-Lenape Nations have continuously lived, gathered, and cared for this land, and their stories remain an integral part of our community’s foundation. Eldon House partners with the City of London to celebrate this incredible milestone with our community!
