Flesherton (population 584) is a community in the Municipality of Grey Highlands, in Grey County, Ontario, Canada, located at the junction of Highway 10 and Grey County Road 4 (formerly Highway 4). Although the area initially showed a high rate of growth in the 1850s and its founder believed that it would become an important centre of economic activity, growth stagnated when an all-important rail link bypassed it, and the community never grew larger than a small village. The self-proclaimed "Gateway to the Beaver Valley" recently lost its autonomy as a village when it was amalgamated with the surrounding Artemesia Township.

  • Flesherton är en ort i kommunen i den kanadensiska provinsen Ontarios sydliga del. Den grundades 1850 av militärveteranen Aaron Munshaw, Jr. som slogs sig ner i trakten och började bygga upp diligensverksamhet och en taverna, fler följde och slogs sig också ner på platsen och började bruka jorden. 1907 blev den klassificerad som ett samhälle (village). 1998 blev Flesherton ihopslagen med kommunen och tre år senare slogs Artemesia Township ihop med grannkommunen Grey Highlands.
