Dufferin summary
Dufferin County, Ontario area, 359,812 acres (562 sq mi/1,456 kmē) population 54,436 (2006) is a county and census division of the Canadian province
of Ontario. The county seat is Orangeville, and the current Warden is Mayor Earl Lennox of East Garafraxa. Dufferin gets its name from the Marquess of
Dufferin, who was Governor General of Canada between 1872-1878.
Dufferin County is the highest plateau immediately west of the Georgian Bay and as such forms the watershed between the four lakes: Huron, Erie, Ontario
and Simcoe. Four rivers, Saugeen, Grand, Credit and Nottawasaga take their rise in Dufferin or in adjacent townships and drain through this County.
The county is a lofty table-land that is about 1,700 feet (518 m) above sea-level and about 1,400 feet (427 m) above the level of downtown Toronto. A
continuation of the Caledon Mountains skirts the eastern side of the county. The highest peaks, however, are no match the Blue Mountains north of
Dufferin or the Caledon Mountains on the south.
