context_page_description: Asphodel–Norwood is a lower tier township municipality in Peterborough County in Central Ontario, Canada, with a 2016 population of 4,109. The land on which the township is situated was the traditional territory of the Mississauga, and became open to European colonization following its survey in 1820. The site that would become Norwood was settled in 1823, and it was incorporated as a village in 1878. The township, in its current form, was created in 1998 by the reunification of the village of Norwood with the surrounding township of Asphodel.
  The terrain of the township is comprised mostly of short hills, with the southern boundary mostly defined by the Trent River. The symbol of the township is its namesake asphodel flower. Hockey has formed a core part of township life, with minor league teams being formed as early as the 1920s. The annual Norwood Fair draws many visitors to the area.
