THE WARDENSHIP.
In our last issue we said that we
hoped to be able to chronicle the
election of the worthy Reeve of Pick-
ering, Joseph Monkhouse, Esq., to
the Wardenship, and we are pleased
that we can do so, as he was elected
to that position at the meeting of the
County Council on Tuesday last. Mr.
Monkhouse has represented his native
township some nine or ten years at
the Council Board, as Councillor,
Deputy -Reeve and for the last three
yews as peeve, and has had plenty of
municipal experience. His election
to the Wardenship therefore is but a
grateful tribuW to his worth as a man
and a representative of the largest and
we a 1 th i e s t municipality in t h e
County,-ar, act which, we are sure,
will be duly appreciated by every resi-
dent of Pickering, of all shades of
political opinion. We heartily con-
gratulate Mr. Monkhouse on his
election.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE REGION
This new regional municipality, whose members are being sworn
in this evening, has a proud history as a site of early pioneer settle-
ment and as a place where two distinguished innovators, Robert
Baldwin and Sam McLaughlin, made their indelible marks—one
on municipal government, the other on industry.
The area which forms the new regional municipality was origin-
ally settled around 1800. Many place-names in the region reflect the
English origins of those early settlers.
One of the earliest homesteading families were the Baldwins of
Clarke Township. An offspring, Robert Baldwin, became a premier
of Upper Canada in the 1840s and father of the Baldwin Act of 1849,
which established municipal government in Ontario as we know it
today.
A quarter century later, Sam McLaughlin established the Oshawa
plant that laid the foundation for the General Motors Corporation
of today.
Under one of the provisions of the Baldwin Act, Northumberland
and Durham, which had formed part of the old Home District
within Upper Canada, became a united county. Ontario County,
part of which is now included in the new region, was united with
York and Peel counties for a two-year period in the early 1850s. On
December 30, 1853, Ontario was separated from the others, and
from that date until the present, the County of Ontario and the
United Counties of Northumberland and Durham remained
unchanged.
On June 22,1973, An Act to establish The Regional Municipality
of Durham received royal assent.
