From the 1880 Beldon Historical Atlas of Grey and Bruce Counties

With a single possible exception, the County of Grey possesses a greater area of inhabited territory than any other of the forty-three counties of the Province of Ontario. Situated on the south shore of that great inland lake, the Georgian Bay, it is bounded east, west, and south by the Counties of Simcoe, Bruce, and Wellington, whose bounds form three sides of a square-the fourth side being extremely irregular, owing to the indentations of the waters which lave its northern shore. It is composed of the Townships of Artemesia, Bentinck, Collingwood, Derby, Egremont, Euphrasia, Glenelg, Holland, Keppel, Melancthon, Normanby, Osprey, Proton, Sarawak, Sullivan, Sydenham, and St. Vincent, besides the Incorporated Towns of Owen Sound, Durham and Meaford, the incorporated Village of Shelburne, and the Police Village of Chatsworth. It contains an area of 576,301 acres, or almost exactly 1,800 square miles. (Melancthon and Shelburne are no longer part of Grey County but part of Dufferin.)
