'''Wroxeter, Ontario''' is a community in [[Howick, Ontario|Howick Township]], part of [[Huron County, Ontario|Huron County]].

The first settlers of Wroxeter were the Gibson Brothers, Thomas and Robert, who founded the community in the mid-19th century. During its peak period, Wroxeter had five general stores, five hotels, two schools (which ran until 1950), a library, a woolen mill, and a grist mill, and an arena, which ran until it was torn down in the late '70s. Wroxeter also had a railway which was completed in 1874, when a train station was constructed to connect the village to the [[Toronto]] area. The population of Wroxeter in the late 19th century is estimated to have been 700&ndash;800 people.

Today, Wroxeter's old industries have vanished. In 1948, the Township of Howick made Wroxeter an [[unincorporated area|unincorporated]] village.
