Stamford Township, Ontario
- Stamford Township, Ontario
Stamford Township was a township in Upper Canada, later Ontario, on the Niagara Peninsula.
The first survey took place around 1776, and twelve families came to settle in the area. As the second township in the region surveyed, it was named Township #2, and later Mount Dorchester for Sir Guy Carleton Lord Dorchester. Another survey in 1787 was conducted and the area was renamed Stamford by John Graves Simcoe. The first municipal government was established in 1793.
