Lindsay, Ontario

Lindsay (2001 population 16,930) is a town on the Scugog River[?] in the Kawartha Lakes[?] region of southern Ontario, Canada.

Lindsay was founded in 1833 when a townsite was surveyed near a sprawling grist mill. The town was officially incorporated in 1857.

In 2001 Lindsay's town government was officially dissolved and merged, with the County of Victoria[?] into the new City of Kawartha Lakes. There is now a movement to reinstate local government.
