WOOD Township, Muskoka District

Wood Township, Muskoka District

The following transcript came from the
"1879 Guide Book & Atlas of Muskoka and Parry Sound Districts".

Wood embraces 62,776 acres of land and 5,491 of water. Mr. Scott, who surveyed it (in part) in 1870, says: "There are two excellent tracts of land. The balance of the township is much broken and very rocky, and almost totally unfit for agricultural purposes. There is good water power at each of the three chutes of the Muskoka River." It is one of the largest town ships in the district, and has an extensive water frontage, being bounded on the north-east by Muskoka Lake, on the south by the Severn River, and on the north by the Muskoka River. The township is incorporated with Medora for municipal purposes.
