A township is a sub-type of municipalities in the Canadian province of Ontario. A township can have the municipal status of either a single-tier or lower-tier municipality. Ontario has 200 townships〔 that had a cumulative population of 990,396 and an average population of 4,952 in the 2011 Census.〔 Ontario's largest and smallest townships are Centre Wellington and Cockburn Island with populations of 26,693 and 0 respectively.〔 == History == Under the former ''Municipal Act, 1990'', a township was a type of local municipality.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Municipal Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter M.45 )〕 Under this former legislation, a locality with a population of 1,000 or more could have been incorporated as a township by Ontario's Municipal Board upon review of an application from 75 or more residents of the locality.〔 It also provided that a township could include "a union of townships and a municipality composed of two or more townships".〔 In the transition to the ''Municipal Act, 2001'', these requirements were abandoned and, as at December 31, 2002, every township that:〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Municipal Act, S.O. 2001, Chapter 25 )〕 *"existed and formed part of a county, a regional or district municipality or the County of Oxford for municipal purposes" became a lower-tier municipality yet retained its name as a township; and *"existed and did not form part of a county, a regional or district municipality or the County of Oxford for municipal purposes" became a single-tier municipality yet retained its name as a township. The current legislation also provides lower and single-tier municipalities with the authority to name themselves as "townships", or other former municipal status types such as "cities", "towns" or "villages", or generically as "municipalities".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Municipal Councillor's Guide )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of township municipalities in Ontario」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
