Kawartha Lakes
Kawartha was coined in 1985 by an Aboriginal called Martha Whetung meaning land of reflections (as Kawatha) but later changed to Kawartha to mean bright waters and happy lands. Before it became a city, it was known as Victoria County but changed names when it became a city in 2001. All constituent municipalities were amalgamated despite resident disapprovals into the City of Kawartha Lakes and de-amalgamation efforts have so far not borne fruit.
