Newbridge, Ontario is a ghost town in southern Ontario that was inhabited from the mid-1800s until the early 1900s. The town was established in 1854 as Spencetown on a 500-acre plot of land purchased by William Spence, John Higgins and James Kerr. It was located near the Maitland River watershed, six miles west of what is today Listowel, in the Howick Township area of Huron County.
