History

The Coté House is associated with Louis B. Coté, a carriagemaker who is believed to have built the house in the late 1860s. The most prominent owner of the house was Coté's son, Louis Vincent Coté, who became Oakville’s fifth Postmaster in 1904. Coté lived in the house until 1919 and continued his prominent position as Postmaster until his death in 1937.
