The township was established in 1998, with the amalgamation of the former Townships of Winchester and Mountain and the Villages of Chesterville and Winchester.
Village of Chesterville
In 1848, the Province of Ontario was divided up into townships, in 1850 the first Chamber of Council was established in Chesterville. Originally called Winchester, Chesterville was the prime location because of it being situated on the Nation River, a major transportation route at the time. In the early 1830s, Thomas Armstrong and his son John, both of Edwardsburg, erected a saw mill on the same site that two men by the name of Merkley years earlier in 1825 had built a mill, but due to a tragic accident they were both killed. Thomas soon had in operation a grist mill, by 1838, the building of these two mills had attracted many settlers to the area. In 1875 the name was changed to Chesterville and, in 1890, Chesterville was incorporated as a village.
Dundas/ˈdʌnˌdæs/ is a formerly independent town and now constituent community in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It is nicknamed the Valley Town because of its topographical location at the bottom of the Niagara Escarpment on the Western edge of Lake Ontario. The population has been stable for decades at about twenty thousand, largely because it has not annexed rural land from the protected Dundas Valley Conservation Area.
Notable events are the Buskerfest in early June, and the Dundas Cactus Festival in August.

Ontario (Human Rights Commission) v Etobicoke (Borough of)
Ontario (Human Rights Commission) v Etobicoke (Borough of), [1982] 1 S.C.R. 202 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on age discrimination. Several firemen challenged a mandatory retirement policy under the Ontario Human Rights Code. The Court found that the employer did not sufficiently justify the policy as a bona fide occupational requirement.
Background
Harold Hall and Vincent Gray were firemen in the borough of Etobicoke, Ontario. As part of the collective agreement between the borough and the union, all firefighters were required to retire at the age of 60. When Hall and Grey were forced to retire they brought a complaint for age discrimination under section 4(1) of the Ontario Human Rights Code which prohibited discrimination in recruitment or dismissal based on age among other grounds.
The respondents defended their actions by arguing that the rule was a bona fide occupational requirement (BFOR). Namely, that the rule was required to maintain an acceptable standard for firefighting.
