Norfolk County (pronounced 'nor-foke') is a city-status municipal government on Lake Erie in southwestern Ontario . The county seat is Simcoe . The population in 2001 was 60,847. Norfolk's history has been closely associated with that of the neighbouring Haldimand County . Norfolk was first created as a County in 1792 . In 1800 , Haldimand was formed from a portion of Norfolk. The two counties were separate until 1974 , when they were reunited as the Regional Municipality Of Haldimand-Norfolk . In 2001 , Haldimand and Norfolk were separated again in a round of municipal restructuring based on a report by provincially-appointed special advisor Milt Farrow . Although both Haldimand and Norfolk use the name "county" for historical reasons, each is governed as a single municipality, with no lower-tier constituent municipalities, and thus neither is a true county. Immediately following restructuring in 2001 Norfolk County was named the "Town of Norfolk." The newly-formed municipality's first by-law was to change the name to "Norfolk County." {Link without Title} In January s, a Tulip Tree (''Liriodendron tulipifera'') and an Eastern Dogwood flower.
