Введение
Округ Симко расположен в центральной части Южного Онтарио, Канада. Округ находится к северу от Большого Торонто, простираясь от берегов озера Симко на востоке до залива Джорджиан на западе. Округ Симко является частью Большой зоны Золотого Подковы – густонаселенного и промышленно развитого региона, центром которого является Большой Торонто. Первоначальная территория округа была описана следующим образом: Матчедаш, Глостер или Пенетангуишине, вместе с островом принца Уильяма Генри и всеми землями, лежащими между округом Мидленд и линией, проведенной строго на север от определенной фиксированной границы (примерно в пятидесяти милях к северо-западу от устья залива Берлингтон), до пересечения с северными границами провинции. Изначально округ был создан исключительно для целей военной мобилизации. В 1823 году он стал отдельным избирательным округом для выборов в Законодательное собрание Верхней Канады, однако, поскольку право голоса зависело от владения недвижимостью, а первый регистратор актов округа Симко был назначен лишь в 1826 году, округ не смог направить своего представителя в Ассамблею до выборов Джона Коутра в 1828 году. В 1837 году округ был выделен из Домашнего округа, а его территория была разделена следующим образом:
Matchedash, Gloucester, or Penetanguishene, together with Prince William Henry's Island, and all the land lying between the Midland District and a line produced due north from a certain fixed boundary (at the distance of about fifty miles north west from the outlet of Burlington Bay) till it intersects the northern limits of the Province
At its beginning, the County existed only for purposes of military enlistment. In 1823, it became a separate constituency for elections to the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada, but, as eligibility to vote was dependent upon having title to property, and Simcoe's first registrar of deeds was not appointed until 1826, it did not send a separate member to the Assembly until the election of John Cawthra in 1828. It was withdrawn from the Home District in 1837, with its territory divided as follows:

Between 1837 and 1841 several acts were passed by the Legislature of Upper Canada which set apart Simcoe District. These acts named the townships that the County would encompass and authorized the levying of taxes for the purpose of constructing a jail and court house. On January 11, 1843, the jail and court house having been duly erected, the Governor General proclaimed the County of Simcoe to be a separate and distinct District. The province of Canada also appointed James R. Gowan as the first judge of the District of Simcoe. The District was restructured in 1845, changing its composition to the following 24 townships:

Effective January 1, 1850, Simcoe District was abolished, and Simcoe County was organized for municipal purposes. Between 1845 and 1851, there had been a campaign to have the part of West Gwillimbury south of the Holland River annexed to York County. The County Council finally agreed to this action in 1851, subject to arbitration as to the division of liabilities. It was implemented by an Act of the Parliament of the Province of Canada later that year. On January 1, 1852, after transferring its five western townships to Grey County, the County was defined as including the following townships:

Together with the unorganized territory bounded to the north by the French River, to the south by the Severn River and Rama Township, to the west by Lake Huron and to the east by the former boundary between the Home District and the Newcastle District as extended to the French River. The unorganized territory, some of which had been surveyed into townships, together with parts of Victoria County and Nipissing District, was withdrawn in 1868 1869 to form the new District of Muskoka and District of Parry Sound. However, any municipalities established in them still formed part of the original counties for municipal purposes, and they were still responsible for the administration of justice, which proved to be problematic. The portions of the districts that were not part of Simcoe County were transferred to it in 1877. This lasted until 1888, when the territory contained within the districts was separated from Simcoe County. Mono and Mulmur Townships were withdrawn from Simcoe County in 1881 and transferred to the newly formed Dufferin County. Mara and Rama Townships were transferred to Simcoe County following the dissolution of Ontario County in 1974.

В период с 1837 по 1841 год Законодательное собрание Верхней Канады приняло несколько актов, выделивших округ Симко. Эти акты определяли города, которые должен был охватывать округ, и санкционировали сбор налогов для строительства тюрьмы и здания суда. 11 января 1843 года, после завершения строительства тюрьмы и здания суда, генерал-губернатор провозгласил округ Симко отдельным и самостоятельным округом. Провинция Канада также назначила Джеймса Р. Гоуэна первым судьей округа Симко. В 1845 году округ был реструктурирован, и его состав был изменен до следующих 24 городов:

С 1 января 1850 года округ Симко был упразднен, и округ Симко был организован для муниципальных целей. В период с 1845 по 1851 год велась кампания по присоединению части Западного Гвиллимбери, расположенной к югу от реки Голланд, к округу Йорк. Окружной совет, наконец, согласился с этим предложением в 1851 году, при условии арбитража по разделу обязательств. Это было реализовано законом парламента провинции Канада позднее в том же году. 1 января 1852 года, после передачи пяти западных городов в округ Грей, состав округа был определен следующим образом:

Вместе с неорганизованной территорией, ограниченной на севере рекой Француз, на юге рекой Северн и городом Рама, на западе озером Гурон и на востоке бывшей границей между Домашним округом и округом Ньюкасл, продолженной до реки Француз. Неорганизованная территория, часть которой была разделена на города, вместе с частями округа Виктория и района Ниписсинг, была выведена в 1868–1869 годах для формирования новых округов Мускока и Парри-Саунд. Однако любые муниципалитеты, созданные на этих территориях, по-прежнему входили в состав первоначальных округов для муниципальных целей и оставались ответственными за отправление правосудия, что оказалось проблематичным. Части округов, не входившие в округ Симко, были переданы ему в 1877 году. Это продолжалось до 1888 года, когда территория, содержащаяся в округах, была отделена от округа Симко. Города Моно и Мулмур были выведены из округа Симко в 1881 году и переданы в недавно образованный округ Дафферин. Города Мара и Рама были переданы в округ Симко после роспуска округа Онтарио в 1974 году.

Between 1837 and 1841 several acts were passed by the Legislature of Upper Canada which set apart Simcoe District. These acts named the townships that the County would encompass and authorized the levying of taxes for the purpose of constructing a jail and court house. On January 11, 1843, the jail and court house having been duly erected, the Governor General proclaimed the County of Simcoe to be a separate and distinct District. The province of Canada also appointed James R. Gowan as the first judge of the District of Simcoe. The District was restructured in 1845, changing its composition to the following 24 townships:
Adjala
Artemesia
Collingwood
Essa
Flos
West Gwillimbury
Innisfil
Medonte
Matchedash
Mulmur
Mono
Nottawasaga
Osprey
Oro
North Orillia
South Orillia
Saint Vincent
Sunnidale
Tay
Tecumseth
Tosorontio
Tiny
Uphrasia (sic)

Effective January 1, 1850, Simcoe District was abolished, and Simcoe County was organized for municipal purposes. Between 1845 and 1851, there had been a campaign to have the part of West Gwillimbury south of the Holland River annexed to York County. The County Council finally agreed to this action in 1851, subject to arbitration as to the division of liabilities. It was implemented by an Act of the Parliament of the Province of Canada later that year. On January 1, 1852, after transferring its five western townships to Grey County, the County was defined as including the following townships:
Adjala
Essa
Flos
Gwillimbury West
Innisfil
Matchedash
Medonte
Mono
Mulmur
Nottawasaga
Orillia
Oro
Sunnidale
Tay
Tecumseth

Together with the unorganized territory bounded to the north by the French River, to the south by the Severn River and Rama Township, to the west by Lake Huron and to the east by the former boundary between the Home District and the Newcastle District as extended to the French River. The unorganized territory, some of which had been surveyed into townships, together with parts of Victoria County and Nipissing District, was withdrawn in 1868 1869 to form the new District of Muskoka and District of Parry Sound. However, any municipalities established in them still formed part of the original counties for municipal purposes, and they were still responsible for the administration of justice, which proved to be problematic. The portions of the districts that were not part of Simcoe County were transferred to it in 1877. This lasted until 1888, when the territory contained within the districts was separated from Simcoe County. Mono and Mulmur Townships were withdrawn from Simcoe County in 1881 and transferred to the newly formed Dufferin County. Mara and Rama Townships were transferred to Simcoe County following the dissolution of Ontario County in 1974.

Правительство
Корпорация округа Симко включает в себя 16 местных муниципалитетов. Являясь муниципалитетом "верхнего уровня", округ Симко отвечает за муниципальные услуги, в том числе социальное жилье, наземную скорую медицинскую помощь и планирование действий в чрезвычайных ситуациях, экологические услуги (управление твердыми бытовыми отходами), систему дорог округа, программу Ontario Works, услуги для детей, дома престарелых, библиотечную сеть, музей, архив, управление лесным хозяйством округа, туризм, географическую информационную систему (компьютерная картография) и планирование землепользования. Местные, или "нижнего уровня" муниципалитеты, отвечают за водоснабжение и канализацию, местные дороги, общественные библиотеки, услуги в сфере отдыха, пожарную и полицейскую службы, контроль за застройкой, лицензирование и выдачу разрешений. Города Барри и Ориллия, хотя и политически и административно обособлены от округа, географически и экономически являются его частью и направляют избранных представителей в комитеты округа, которые предоставляют услуги жителям этих городов, включая скорую медицинскую помощь, учреждения длительного ухода, социальные услуги, социальное жилье, архив и музей. Они учитываются в составе переписного округа. Совет округа состоит из мэров и заместителей мэров каждого из шестнадцати городов и поселков, входящих в округ Симко. Глава Совета округа называется старостой (Warden) и избирается на срок в один год членами совета на учредительном заседании, которое проводится каждый декабрь. Несмотря на то, что ранее рассматривался вопрос о реструктуризации в региональный муниципалитет, как сообщала газета Wasaga Sun, округ Симко отказался от этой идеи.
