Norland, Ontario
Norland is a small rural community located within the city of Kawartha Lakes, in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is located in a scenic spot on the Gull River at the north end of Shadow Lake, the northernmost Kawartha lake. Here a series of three water falls reflect the change in elevation of the land leading north to the Haliburton Highlands.
Norland was named in 1862 by Reverend Bayard Taylor after an African village he'd worked in, . The name was representative of the villages location at the northern limits of civilization in Victoria County. Norland had been known as McLauchlin Mills for two prior years, after Alexander McLauchlin, who built numerous mills along the Gull River.
The post office services locals with lock boxes and one rural route.
Norland was once mentioned on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien when the show was in Toronto for a week, Mike Myers mentioned the village by name including the only still operating gas station and a resident of Norland.
