==History==
It was originally organized as the "Provisional County of Dufferin", with preparatory work authorized by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1875〔S.O. 1874-75, c. 31〕 and the actual formation taking effect in 1881, being created from parts of the counties of Grey and Simcoe, on the north and east, and from the County of Wellington on the south and west.
In 1883. the Township of East Luther was withdrawn from Wellington County and annexed to Dufferin County. The Village of Grand Valley was erected from East Luther in 1897, and the two municipalities amalgamated in 1995 to form the Township of East Luther Grand Valley, which was erected into the Town of Grand Valley in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.townofgrandvalley.ca/respecting-the-past-embracing-the-future/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.townofgrandvalley.ca/welcome/ )〕
The county gets its name from the Marquess of Dufferin, who was Governor General of Canada between 1872-1878. Originally an agriculturally based economy, Dufferin's economy has diversified to include commercial and retail businesses, industries related to residential and commercial construction (building, supplies, aggregates, real estate) and manufacturing. A portion of Dufferin’s economy still depends on agriculture but tourism is becoming more important as the county takes a more positive role in attracting visitors.
