- Historic_counties_of_Ontario abstract "The Canadian province of Ontario has several historic counties, which are past census divisions that no longer exist today. Most historic counties either merged with other counties, or became regional municipalities or single-tier municipalities. Although counties had existed prior to 1849, after 1849 they replaced the district systems in administering local government and courts in Ontario. The county system is used in southern, southwestern and eastern sections of the province of Ontario. There are no counties in Northern Ontario due to sparse population and a long standing boundary dispute with the Northwest Territories (that was not resolved until 1912).Addington County (1792–1864) merged with Lennox County to form Lennox and Addington CountyBrant County (established 1852) split into the single-tier 'county' of Brant and the city of BrantfordCarleton County (1800–1969) became the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, now the City of Ottawa, a single-tier municipality.Dufferin County (established 1881) created from parts of Simcoe, Grey and Waterloo counties.Durham County (1792–1973) portions merged with Ontario County to form Durham Regional Municipality.

A small portion became part of Simcoe County.Peel County (1851–1973) became Peel Regional MunicipalityPrescott County (1800–1820) merged with Russell County to form Prescott and Russell United CountiesPrince Edward County (established 1792) has retained its name, but is now a single-tier municipality, not an official countyRussell County (1800–1820) merged with Prescott County to form Prescott and Russell United CountiesSuffolk County (1792–1800) formed in 1792 with Ontario County, in 1800 it was split into the Counties of Kent and Middlesex.

While many of these still exist today and have become relatively permanent, some have since been dissolved. For example, the former United Counties of Huron and Perth existed for only a few years in the 19th century. The United Counties of Northumberland and Durham, on the other hand, merged eight years after each one was created, and continued for 174 years up until the dissolution of Durham County on January 1, 1974.".
