Monck County, Ontario - Definition and Overview

Monck County is a historic county in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Monck was a division used by the federal government as an electoral district in Canada's early parliaments from 1867 to 1892. It was never a county in the political sense, although it is listed as a county of residence in some post-Confederation census records.

Monck consisted of the Lincoln County townships of Caistor and Gainsborough, the Haldimand County townships of Canborough, Dunn, Dunnville, Moulton and Sherbrooke, and the Welland County townships of Pelham and Wainfleet.
