The Olde Towne of Stoney Creek has been the dominent urban centre of Saltfleet Township since the mid 1800s.

The Olde Towne evolved more rapidly than any of its sister centres and came to dominate the township in the 20th century, being the "First Among Equals".

The historical heart of the town, and by extension the region, is King Street between Lake Avenue and the Stoney Creek waterway, but the definition of Olde Towne is usually extended as far west as Centennial Parkway, as far north as Queenston Road, south to the Niagara Escarpment, and as far east as Gray's Road.

Lake Avenue historically was the site of some of the finest houses in the Olde Towne. Running north to the lake, Lake Avenue was a thin line of urbanization on the rural roads to Toronto.

Lake Avenue also had a small train station for the CN line as it crossed the road heading for Niagara.
