Haldimand Township was named in 1792 for Sir Frederick Haldimand.
Cobourg is located 114 kilometers east of Toronto. During its history, Cobourg has had several names. The first settler was Eluid Nickerson, who arrived in 1798. The settlement he founded was first called Buckville, after Elijah Buck, who settled there in 1808 and opened a tavern. Later, the settlement was named Amherst, after Baron Amherst. Even later, the settlement was called Hamilton, after the township. It was also nicknamed Hardscrabble. In 1819, the village was finally renamed Cobourg (the extra 'o' was a spelling mistake). Cobourg in 1827 had about 40 houses, 2 inns, 4 stores, several distilleries, a grist mill and a population of 350. In the 1830's a large wave of immigrants moved to Cobourg.
