The county was formed in 1792. In 1845, the southern portion of Lincoln County was separated to form
Welland County

In some census and election records from the late 19th century, the townships of Caistor and Gainsborough (which can be seen on the map below) were enumerated as part of
Monck County, while Grantham and Niagara Townships were enumerated as part of Niagara County. However, neither Monck nor Niagara ever existed as incorporated municipal counties, but rather as electoral districts

Regional Municipality of Niagara
