### Slogan

"Where everyone fits in."

**Schitt's Creek** is a small settlement within the township of Elmdale in Ontario, Canada, founded in 1895 by Horace Schitt and his sister.

The town is the primary setting of the television series of the same name.

## Founding

In 1895, Schitt family siblings Horace and his sister discovered and developed the land that would become the town of *Schitt's Creek*, thus becoming the town's founders. Horace would also became the first Mayor of Schitt's Creek; Generations later and the family would still have mayoral power in the town, due to everyone in Schitt's Creek having accepted the saying: *"Who needs elections when you can keep having sons?"*. Since 1997, the mayor and family patriarch has been Roland Schitt, the fourth Schitt to be Mayor since his great-grandfather, Horace.

## Overview

Schitt's Creek is town (Moira once called it a "hamlet") of quaint surroundings and very few businesses and places of interest, the most prominent of them, Bob's Garage, Café Tropical, and Rose Apothecary being located along on a wide Main Street. Beyond the Main Street, other businesses of prominence are the Town Hall, the Veterinary Clinic, and the Rosebud Motel. The town is about 4,500 acres, most of it being open fields and shady wooded areas.

The town is shown to be the home to largely unsophisticated, but honest, down-to-Earth, and hard working people who are always eager to give a helping hand, or a happy smile to anyone in need, especially the Rose Family. It is also interesting to note the townsfolk not showing any expressions of homophobia to David's sexuality, as they simply accept it. The town was also listed on a guide of the most random cities in North America in *Vice* Magazine.

## Politics

The town of Schitt's Creek is governed by a mayor and town council. Together, the duel government bodies work closely to sort out and solve problems in the community. They are also responsible for calling frequent town meetings and attending the annual Regional Association of Municipalities Conference.

In 2016, the town council held an election for a vacant spot left open after the resignation of Ray Butani; the election was against Moira Rose and Jocelyn Schitt, ending in the former succeeding by default.

The council and mayor offices are located at the Schitt's Creek Town Hall, which was incorporated in 1895.

### Mayor

By following an old Schitt's Creek saying that goes, *"Who needs elections when you can keep having sons?"*, the town has been led by the Schitt family for generations; the first mayor being founder Horace Schitt and the current mayor being Roland Schitt, who has held the mantle since 1997.
