Haliburton County, Administrative county in Central Ontario, Canada.
The county extends over 4,009 square kilometers of varied terrain, containing numerous lakes and forests within the Canadian Shield geological formation.
Established in 1874 as a provisional county, the region received its name from Thomas Chandler Haliburton, the first chairman of the Canadian Land and Emigration Company.
The region maintains strong artistic connections through multiple galleries, studios, and the Haliburton School of Art + Design, which provides education in creative disciplines.
The county includes four municipalities: Algonquin Highlands, Dysart et al, Highlands East, and Minden Hills, with Minden Hills serving as the county seat.
The Haliburton Scout Reserve, founded in 1967, stands as Canada's largest scout reserve and North America's third-largest outdoor scouting facility.
