Label TextFrom 1846, the provincial ministry of agriculture organized annual fairs to showcase the products of both farmers and manufacturers. London hosted the event several times. By 1867, the East Middlesex Agricultural Society and the London District Horticultural and Agricultural Society recognized London could support its own fair. The two groups amalgamated to form the Western Fair Association. Apart from the years 1940 to 1947 and 2020 to 2021, the Western Fair has happened every year since 1868. Various London men of high standing in the community have served as the organization's director, including John G. Richter.
