Niagara County, Ontario - Definition

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

Niagara was a division used by the federal government as an electoral district in Canada's parliaments from 1867 to 1882. It was never a county in the political sense, although it is listed as a county of residence in some post-Confederation census records.

Niagara consisted of the Lincoln County townships of Niagara and Grantham, including the towns of Niagara-on-the-Lake and St. Catharines.
