The Municipality of West Grey is comprised of the former townships of Normanby, Bentinck and Glenelg, the town of Durham and the village of Neustadt. Situated in the southern part of Grey County, West Grey is rich in history and heritage. With a deep sense of pride, tradition and culture, West Grey is a welcoming and friendly place to live and visit.

We have several historical books for sale including the histories of Durham, Bentinck and Normanby. Please reach out or drop by our administration office for more information.

The West Grey Public Library also has many resources for those interested in West Grey history and heritage.
