Over the years many towns, cities, counties and even countries have changed their names, their borders and more. As I come across that information I will post it here.
Essex County restructuring, 1990s In 1992, discussions began to take place to reduce the number of individual municipalities, which at the time numbered 21 in the County. This culminated on January 1, 1999 when a Minister's Order by the Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing was implemented, putting in place the new municipal structure for the County of Essex.
