Armour Township was established as part of
The Free Grants and Homestead Act in 1868, which encouraged settlement of the area. In 1881, it was incorporated, with James Coleman as its first reeve. In 1885, the
Grand Trunk Railway was built through Armour. In 1890, the Village of Burk's Falls split off from the township to form a separate village municipality. In 1916, Highway 11 was built through the township. ==Demographics==
