National census records are arranged by province and within provinces by census districts and subdistricts. Census districts are voting districts, not counties. Although a voting district may have the same name as a county, it may not include the same townships. In some provinces, townships are equivalent to census subdistricts. To determine which townships and counties eastern Canadian cities and villages were located in, look in: | National census records are arranged by province and within provinces by census districts and subdistricts.

This gives the township and county of each community, which is important when searching census, land and property, local histories, and other records. | ||
Since the boundaries varied from census to census, it is not easy to tell which census district an eastern Canadian township or western Canadian village was in. Contemporary maps of the census districts have been lost or destroyed. Provincial maps showing county, township, and election/census precinct boundaries as of about 1880 for the Maritimes, Quebec, and Ontario are in: | Since the boundaries varied from census to census, it is not easy to tell which census district an eastern Canadian township or western Canadian village was in.

Gazetteers published in the 1880s sometimes list the "electoral county" or census/voting district rather than the county where a city or village was located. If you still cannot determine the census district, you may need to search several neighboring census districts to find your ancestor. | Gazetteers published in the 1880s sometimes list the "electoral county" or census/voting district rather than the county where a city or village was located.
