Home > St. Jacobs, Ontario

The town of St. Jacobs is located in southwest Ontario, just north of the city of Waterloo in Woolwich Township. It is a popular location for tourism, due to its mennonite heritage and retail focus upon local handicrafts. The town's original name (19th-century) was Jakobstettel.

Some 3 km south of the town proper is the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market, another popular tourist draw. Fresh farm products are sold from across the area, plus many vendors have discount clothing, toys, candy and other wares. A factory outlet mall is located adjacent to the market site.

The market, town and surrounding countryside are marketed as St Jacobs Country.
