Dresden is an agricultural community in southwestern Ontario, Canada, part of the municipality of Chatham-Kent. It is located on the Sydenham River. The community is named after Dresden, Germany.[i] The major field crops in the area, by both acreage and production, are grain corn, soybean, and winter wheat.[2] The main horticultural crop is tomatoes, followed by sweet corn and carrots.[3]
Dresden is best known as the home of Josiah Henson, an African-Canadian abolitionist and minister whose life-story was an inspiration for the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. The Henson homestead is a historic site near Dresden operated by the Ontario Heritage Trust.
An H chondrite-type meteorite fell near Dresden in 1939.[4]: 64–65
