Byron, Ontario - Definition

Byron is part of London, Ontario.

Located downriver (west) from London on the outer fringes of the city, Byron was originally called Westminster, then renamed Hall's Mill and then finally Byron. The Byron area was settled in 1800 and first became a village in 1804. The village of Byron was annexed by the City of London in 1961 and the population grew substantially with the development of large subdivisions around the original village. Byron is one of the most scenic parts of London and is home to Springbank Park, one of the most picturesque urban parks in Canada.
