Available Real-Estate in Tiny

The Township was named, in 1822, after a pet dog of Lady Sarah Maitland, wife of the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada. Two adjoining townships were also named for her pets: Tay and Flos (now Springwater Township). In 1850, the Parliament of Canada incorporated the Township of Tiny and Tay, but was separated into its own municipality by Simcoe County in 1868. Founded by First Nations, then populated by French and British settlers, the area began to attract families from Quebec in the mid-1800s because of the affordable, fertile farmland. The region is tied to early missionary exploration such as the Jesuit mission of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in nearby Midland. The Township remains bilingual (English and French) and is provincially designated for bilingual government services.
