Norwich is a small municipality located within Southwestern Ontario's Oxford County. The township prefers the pronunciation 'NOR-witch', that is different compared to the English city of Norwich. The township name is more likely to have come the Upper New York State town of Norwich, since this place was home to many pioneering families which emigrated in the early 19th century. Norwich is also an abbreviation of the original Norwichville.

Previously North and South Norwich Towns, Norwich includes the communities of Beaconsfield, Bond's Corners, Brown's Corners, Burgessville, Cornell, Creditville, Curries, Eastwood, Hink's Corners, Hawtrey, Holbrook, Lambeth, Muir, Milldale, Newark, New Durham, Norwich, Oriel, Oxford Centre, Otterville, Rosanna, Rock's Mills, Summerville, Vandecar and Springford.

The previous Highway 59 is presently Oxford County Road 59 and provides a main freeway through the town, even making its way through Norwich proper.

During the year 1809 Peter Lossing, a member of the Society of Friends from Dutchess County, New York, visited Norwich Township, and during June, the year 1810, with his brother-in-law, Peter De Long, purchased 15,000 acres or 61 km2 of land within this region. That autumn Lossing brought his family to Upper Canada and early in the year 1811 settled in Norwich Town. The De Long family with nine others, mainly from the County of Duchess, joined Lossing the same year and by the year 1820 an additional group of approximately 50 had settled in the tract. Many were Quakers and a frame meeting house, planned during the year 1812, was erected during 1817. One of the most successful Quaker communities within Upper Canada was founded by these resourceful pioneers.

Built by Edward Bullock during 1845, the Otterville Mill ran off water power which was supplied from the river dam. This historic site is managed on a lease basis by the South Norwich Historical Society, who provides tours on request. A beautiful setting in the center of the village, the mill and its nearby meadow is the location of an annual barbecue.

Otterville Park is situated just north of the main corner, and through the stone gates. It featured 40,000 m2 or 10 acres of parklands graced with with a swimming pool, beautiful tall pines, ball diamond, horseshoe pitch, tennis and basketball courts, and children's playground.

The region's economy is heavily dependent upon dairy farming, that is located within the north section of the township and ginseng and tobacco, which is farmed south of the town. Slowly, ginseng is replacing the former cash crop - tobacco, as demand lessens.
