	SkyscraperCity Forums - Why does Ontario have Counties AND Regions?
		Counties may be as large as regional municipalities in population, but their population density is generally lower (although not as low as in a district.) Counties may include major cities, such as London, Kingston and Windsor, but these cities have generally not evolved into urban agglomerations with other communities, as in regions and "megacities".
		Counties may also include separated municipalities, communities that are considered part of the county for census purposes but are not administratively connected to the county.
		Ontario has spent the past half century restructuring the government and nomenclature of it's county areas, but except for the division of Ontario county between Durham and Simcoe, most border alterations have been minor.
