Dalton Township, Ontario

Dalton Township within Kawartha Lakes

The Township of Dalton was a municipality located in the northwest corner of the former Victoria County, now a geographic township in the city of Kawartha Lakes, in the Canadian province of Ontario.[1][2][3] It was named after John Dalton (1766–1844), an English scientist who contributed to the foundations of atomic theory.

Dalton had an extensive history in logging and colonization along the Old Monck Road (Kawartha Lakes 45). Several Ghost villages dot the former township, many of them old logging/farming communities from the late 19th century. These include Ragged Rapids and Dartmoor. Some have survived since the logging days and remain inhabited, including Sadowa, Sebright, and Uphill. Back then, one of the most picturesque figures of the municipal history of the township was Joseph Thompson who was reeve for a quarter of a century. Thompson was a great hunter and many legends had been handed down concerning his prowess in the wilderness.

Geography

According to the 1996 Canadian census, the last prior to the amalgamation of Victoria County, the township has a total area of 166.54 km2 (64.30 sq mi).[4] Dalton lies mostly upon the Canadian Shield, owing its rough, impassable, lake filled landscape to the Precambrian granite. The far south and west of the township lie on the limestone plateau, and contain the only roads and inhabitants.[5]
