[Agriculture](/source/Agriculture) is the main [industry](/source/Industry_(economics)) and commerce is non-existent. There is a concrete products company and a church in the hamlet. It is one of the westernmost communities in [Norfolk County, Ontario](/source/Norfolk_County%2C_Ontario), [Canada](/source/Canada). Frogmore's earliest known inhabitants, from around the year 1000 until approximately 300–350 years later, were the [Algonquin](/source/Algonquin_people) nation. They were noted flint-workers and evidence of their skill in crafting arrowheads is still to be found in open worked field areas surrounding the village. The next wave of inhabitants were the [Attawandaron](/source/Neutral_Nation) nation, the Neutrals, who occupied the region from about 1350 until their absorption by the [Iroquois](/source/Iroquois) in the year 1651. The last significant native nation to occupy the area was the [Mississaugas](/source/Mississaugas). In 2001, Haldimand-Norfolk was dissolved into two separate single-tier counties. Frogmore became part of the newly formed County of Norfolk. ## Summary This community has approximately 147 people; a sizeable population of them are German Mennonites and Mexican Mennonites. Named in 1886 after one of Queen Victoria's residences in Hampshire, England.[1] Six wind turbines with a generation capacity of approximately 9 MW of electricity have been placed in the vicinity, about 7 kilometres to the south near the shore of Lake Erie.[2] Norfolk County regional council passed a resolution to be an "unwilling host" to future wind turbine development in May 2013.[3] Frogmore is not seeing notable population growth as people may choose to move to the larger nearby communities of Simcoe, Delhi, and Tillsonburg. The popular tourist destination of [Port Burwell](/source/Port_Burwell%2C_Ontario) is just a 30 minutes' drive to the southwest of this community. Another historic community, Sparta, along with the [St. Thomas Raceway Park](/source/St._Thomas_Raceway_Park) lies 45 minutes to the southwest from Frogmore. ### Climate The winter of 1975 was the only unusually mild winter in the region from 1897 to 1977.[4] From the late 1990s onwards, winters have become more mild due to changes in climate brought on by global warming. Frogmore traditionally belongs to the [humid continental climate](/source/Humid_continental_climate) zone, even with the recent mild winters and warmer dry summers. As in all communities, towns and cities throughout the world, [global warming](/source/Global_warming) due to human industrial activity has altered the climate of Frogmore over the decades. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [Basic information](http://www.ruralroutes.com/frogmore) at Rural Routes 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** [*Frogmore Wind Project*](http://www.canwea.ca/featuredWindFarm_e.php?farmId=83) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20101223134251/http://canwea.ca/featuredWindFarm_e.php?farmId=83) 2010-12-23 at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine) at Canadian Wind Energy Association 1. **[^](#cite_ref-nonewwindmills_3-0)** ["Norfolk Seeks End to Turbine Development"](http://www.simcoereformer.ca/2013/05/14/norfolk-seeks-end-to-turbine-development).
