St. Joseph (French St-Joseph or Saint-Joseph) is a community in Huron County, Ontario, Canada, in the municipality of Bluewater. It is on the shore of Lake Huron near Grand Bend. St. Joseph has houses, a few shops, and a gas station.
It was first settled, as "Pointe-aux-Bouleaux", by some French Canadian families seeking greater opportunity in 1846. Over the years the name was changed to "Johnson's Mills", "Lakeview" and finally "St. Joseph".
