United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry

The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry form an administrative region in Eastern Ontario stretching along the St. Lawrence River. The territory includes one city and six townships with different community centers throughout the area.

The counties were established in 1850 from six royal townships that existed in Upper Canada. This consolidation created the foundation of the region's administrative structure that remains today.

The region has maintained a strong bilingual character in daily life, with both English and French spoken throughout communities. This linguistic blend shapes how people interact and connect across the area.

The area stretches along the St. Lawrence River and is composed of different smaller centers spread across the townships. Access to various parts may vary depending on seasonal conditions and weather.

A memorial at Juno Beach in Normandy recognizes the military contributions of Highland soldiers from this region during a significant conflict. This connection to distant history surprises many visitors.
