Ajax is part of Durham Region, one of the fastest growing areas of Ontario. The population of Ajax is close to 90,000, with hundreds of new homes being built every year. The Town has a vibrant business community as well, with over 1,500 businesses and a labour force of more than 41,000.

Residents enjoy a full range of excellent municipal services of city quality in a mid-sized town setting. We enjoy and strive to preserve a rich natural heritage, including waterways such as Duffins and Carruthers Creek and, most importantly, Lake Ontario. Ajax’s 6 k.m. of waterfront remain largely undeveloped for the enjoyment of everyone, with acres of parkland and natural areas.

As a rapidly-growing community, Ajax includes a vibrant mix of established and new neighbourhoods. The diversity of our population can be seen every day, and at regular community events such as Home Week, Ajax Family Festival and Pickering Village Fall Festival, among others.

The Town of Ajax, named after the courageous and determined British warship HMS Ajax, has a history deeply routed in industry and community spirit.
The Town began as the site of a munitions plant built by the Federal Government and operated by Defence Industries Limited (DIL) to provide war munitions to support the Second World War Allied effort.
In 1950, in response to a petition from citizens of Ajax, the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) ordered that Ajax become the Improvement District of Ajax but that it would be owned by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and administered by a provincially appointed Board of Trustees.
In 1954, a petition for Town status was submitted to the OMB and the Board once again ruled in favour of the petition and the Town of Ajax was born. The first Council, comprising of Mayor, Reeve, Deputy Reeve and six Councillors, was elected on December 11, 1954 and were sworn into office at the first Council Meeting on January 10, 1955.
What began as a munitions plant during the Second World War has grown over the last fifty years into a vibrant community with a robust economy that will continue to grow well into the future.
