KNOWLEDGE OF Norfolk County
Norfolk County (pronounced 'nor-foke') is a city-status municipal government on Lake Erie in southwestern Ontario. The county seat is Simcoe.
Norfolk's history has been closely associated with that of the neighbouring Haldimand County. Norfolk was first created as a county in 1792. In 1800, Haldimand was formed from a portion of Norfolk. The two counties were separate until 1974, when they were reunited as the Regional Municipality of Haldimand-Norfolk.
In 2001, Haldimand and Norfolk were separated again in a round of municipal restructuring based on a report by provincially-appointed special advisor Milt Farrow. Although both Haldimand and Norfolk use the name "county" for historical reasons, each is governed as a single-tier municipality, with city status. Thus, neither is a true county. Immediately following restructuring in 2001 "Norfolk County" was named the "Town of Norfolk." The newly-formed municipality's first by-law was to change the name to "Norfolk County."
In January 2005, the County unveiled a new coat of arms which included natural symbols associated with the county: Hooded Warblers, a Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and an Eastern Dogwood flower.
