The Village of Gananoque, Ontario, was incorporated effective October 15, 1862 through Leeds and Grenville Bylaw 227 under the terms of the Municipal Act, Ontario Statutes, and amendments.
This Act permitted communities to petition the Legislative Assembly for incorporation as townships, towns or villages on reaching specified population levels. The Village was incorporated as the Town of Gananoque through a proclamation effective November 28, 1889. The Town was separated from the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville by Ontario Statutes 1922, Chapter 112.
