Haldimand's history has been closely associated with that of the neighbouring Norfolk County . Haldimand was first created as a County in 1800 , from a portion of Norfolk. It was named after the governor of the Province Of Quebec Sir Frederick Haldimand . The two counties were separate until 1974 , when they were reunited as the Regional Municipality Of Haldimand-Norfolk . In 2001 , the counties were separated again. Although they both retain the name "county" for historical reasons, each is governed as a single municipality, with no formal level of government below that of the county, and thus neither is a true county.
