History
In 1820 the Township of Adjala was surveyed for settlement. The first municipal election was held in 1842, with James Keenan elected reeve; he died in office and Henry McCullough was elected to finish the term. Under 12 Victoria ch. 81 the Township was incorporated in 1850. Effective 1 January 1994, the Township of Adjala amalgamated with the Township of Tosorontio to form the Township of Adjala-Tosorontio.
