LaSalle is a town in Essex County, Ontario. It is located on the Detroit River, south of the City of Windsor. The population of LaSalle was 27 781 in a recent census. LaSalle, along with Windsor, is the oldest French settlement area in Southwestern Ontario, and the oldest continually inhabited European settlement in Canada west of the Quebec border. Now considered to be a bedroom community of Windsor, LaSalle is often cited as an example of urban sprawl where tracts of Canada's most valuable agricultural land have been developed.
One of LaSalle's biggest events is the annual Strawberry Festival, which takes place on the first weekend in June.
