Manvers Township

The Township of Manvers (area 69,923 acres (283 km2)) was a municipality in the former Victoria County, now the city of Kawartha Lakes, in the Canadian province of Ontario.

The township was officially established in 1816 and named in honour of Charles Pierrepont, 1st Earl Manvers.

At that time land grants were made to United Empire Loyalists, retiring soldiers and other friends of the crown.

[1] Effective January 1, 1974, an extensive re-organization of municipal administrative divisions took place.

As part of this process Manvers Township was transferred to the County of Victoria.
