In a very close vote (51% for/ 49% against) the citizens of Kawartha Lakes voted to de-amalgamate in November, 2003 into the former towns, villages, and townships of the former County of Victoria, but it might be years before this process is complete, if it happens at all. The newly elected city government has declared that there will NOT be any de-amalgamation.

The city is named for the Kawartha lakes; "Kawartha" means "shining waters" in the Ojibwe language.
