 The Regional Municipality of Halton, or Halton Region, is located in Ontario, Canada, and is located in the southwest portion of the Greater Toronto Area and until 1974 was known as Halton County. It is comprised of the city of Burlington and the towns of Oakville, Milton, and Halton Hills and is policed by the Halton Regional Police Service. The region's headquarters are in Oakville. The town of Oakville and the city of Burlington make up the largely urban area to the south, while the towns of Milton and Halton Hills to the north are significantly more rural despite the presence of growing urban areas. Halton Region has a population of 375,229 (2001) spread out over 232,000 acres (939 km²) of land. Population estimates project a population of 439,000 in 2006, making it one of the (but not the) fastest growing regions in the country. Despite the unprecedented growth in residential development in Halton, agriculture and protected lands along the Niagara Escarpment are still the predominant land uses.
