Orangeville is a town in southwestern Ontario, Canada. Orangeville is one of the furthest municipalities still unofficially considered part of the Greater Toronto Area. It was the seat of Dufferin County.
Named for and founded by Orange Lawrence, one of the early settlers in the 1830s, Orangeville was founded in 1863.
Manufacturing is the town's biggest industry.
The local radio station formerly targeted its news and variety programming out of Orangeville to Southern Huronia. CIDC later became a top-40 station targeting the Toronto, Ontario and Area. The signals have been moved southeast to increase coverage into Greater Toronto, and studios have been moved to the Toronto community of Etobicoke.
The major intersection in the heart of the town is Broadway (formerly Provincial Highway 9) and First Street.
