History
The Rural Development Division was a short-lived entity established in 1995 during the period when the Agriculture and Rural Services Division was divided (the Agriculture Division formed the other half of this organizational split). Before its creation, rural development activities were the domain of the Rural Development Secretariat (1993-1995) and the Rural Organizations and Services Branch (1987-1993) before it.
The Rural Development Division was divided into three areas: Land Use Planning Branch; Ontario Agricultural Museum; and Rural Development Secretariat.
In 1996, Rural Development and Northern Region was created as part of the Agriculture and Rural Division.
