By Region
Ontario is divided into two larger regions, Northern and Southern Ontario. Northern Ontario is divided into Northwestern Ontario and Northeastern Ontario. Southern Ontario is further divided into Central Ontario, Eastern Ontario, and Southwestern Ontario, essentially creating 5 distinct regions. These five larger regions, are further divided into 49 Counties, Districts & Regional Municipalities (more commonly referred to as Regions).
