History
Edit
In 1961, St. Catharines was amalgamated with the adjoining Town of Merritton, Town of Port Dalhousie and Township of Grantham to form an expanded City of St. Catharines. The amalgamation included the Merritton Volunteer Fire Department, Port Dalhousie Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Grantham Township Fire Department, which had been formed only a few years before.
