The Town of Wainfleet has a population of 6,000 and is and agricultural community located approximately 15 miles West of Port Colborne along Highway # 3. Once known as Marshville, the hamlet was established in the 1820's when a tavern and hotel where built where the road, now Highway #3, crossed the a feeder canal used to ship agricultural products to the second Welland Canal (between 1840 and 1881) and beyond. The canal was closed, following the extension of the Welland Canal to Port Colborne in 1890.

Wainfleet has 20 miles of Lake Erie shoreline and follows many miles of the Welland River. Long Beach Provincial Park provides camping and swimming areas along a half mile long sandy beach.
