As such the county is an ideal tourist destination especially during the warm weather months, drawing visitors from such large cities as Toronto, Hamilton, and London. Elgin County has a population of more than 52,000 and is home to such cities as St. Thomas, Aylmer, Port Stanley, Belmont, Dutton, West Lorne, and more.
