The Kawartha Lakes are a chain of lakes forming the upper watershed of Trent River. The region, which is named after the lakes, is in Peterborough County and is dotted with cottages that vary in size hinting at the popularity of tourism in the region. It is a legal municipality in the form of a single-tier city but the size of a county and is mostly rural. The population centres around the community of Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Lindsay, Omemee and Woodville.
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.
