Topic: Simcoe East


  
  Simcoe East - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simcoe East was a federal electoral district represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1882 to 1968.
The "East Riding of the county of Simcoe" initially consisted of the townships of Tay, Medonte, Oro, Orillia, Matchedash, Muskoka, Wood, Medora, Monck and Tiny, the villages of Gravenhurst and Midland, and the towns of Orillia and Penetanguishene.
In 1924, it was redefined to consist of that part of the county of Simcoe lying north of (and including) the township of Tiny, the township of Medonte and the township of Orillia South.

 The History of Simcoe County -Part 2, by Andrew F. Hunter
The printing, in 1895, of the Minutes of the first District Council of Simcoe, 1843-7, which was the period before the advent of the printing press in the county, was accomplished in 1895 under the supervision of his Honour Judge Ardagh, and was an important step as it aroused some interest in the county's history.
He was also a proficient flsmith, and a handyman generally, having become such doubtless in the employ or assistance of his brother-in-law, Benjamin Hawke, who had the contract during the war of 1812-15 for the transportation of the soldiers' supplies across the portage on their way to Mackinaw and the other posts of the interior.
Henry Morris, the last mentioned, was the Simcoe District Councillor for Essa in 1843-4-5, and again in 1849; and he was the first reeve of the township in 1850.
