Get tips for finding your elusive brick-wall ancestor CANADA WEST: DISTRICTS, COUNTIES & TOWNSHIPS OF 1846 Note that in 1842 Upper and Lower Canada united to form the Province of Canada. Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) became known as Canada West while Lower Canada (present day Quebec) became known as Canada East. For more information on boundary changes and name changes in present day Ontario, please go to my History & Timeline pages Canada West was divided into twenty districts, which are then subdivided into counties, ridings and townships. The districts varied greatly in size, with the Western District containing 29 townships and the Prince Edward District containing 6. As large districts were settled, and populations grew, smaller districts were formed from one large one. Colborne District was formed from Newcastle District; Simcoe District was formed from Home District and Huron District was formed from London District. Townships also varied in size, with some as large as 90,000 acres and others as small as 20,000. Most townships were laid out in square blocks but some were not - and their divisions are beyond description. The townships are divided into concessions, generally running east to west, and north to south. However when a river ran through a township, the lots were laid out to face the river, no matter what direction that was. Concessions were generally divided into lots of 200 acres each, and half lots of 100 acres each. Almost half the surveyed lands of Upper Canada were purchased after 1818 from native tribes. 1846 Districts BATHURST DISTRICT Population in 1842: 21,672 Lanark County Bathurst Township Becckwith Township Dalhousie Township Darling Township Drummond Township North Elmsley Township North Burgess Township Levant Township Lanark Township Montague Township Ramsay Township North Sherbrooke Township South Sherborrke Township Renfrew County Admaston Township Blithefield Township Bagot Township Bromley Township Horton Township Macnab Township Pakenham Township pembroke Township Ross Township Stafford Township Westmeath Township BROCK DISTRICT Settled mainly by settlers from Great Britain and Ireland Population in 1842: 16,271 Oxford County Blandford Township Blenheim Township Burford Township Dereham Township Nissouri Township North Oxford Township East Oxford Township West Oxford Township Oakland Township Sandwich Township East Zorra Township West Zorra Township COLBORNE DISTRICT Population in 1842: 13,706 Peterborough County Asphodel Township Belmont Township Burleigh Township Bexley Township Dummer Township Douro Township Ennismore Township Emily Township Edlon Township Fenelon Township Harvey Township Methuen Township Mariposa Township Otonabee Township Ops Township Smith Township Somerville Township Verulam Township North Monaghan Township DALHOUSIE DISTRICT Population in 1842: 19,612 Carleton County Fitzroy Township Goulbourn Township North Gower Township Gloucester Township Huntley Township March Township Marlborough Township Nepean Township Osgoode Township Torbolton Township EASTERN DISTRICT Population in 1842: 29,893 Stormount Co.
