In 1923, the legislature conferred the status of “township” on Sasstown, Sinoe County, and Grand Cess in Maryland County.
In 1935, Grand Cess was elevated to a municipality with the following officers: a commissioner, a road and street overseer, three associate magistrates, a police magistrate, a chief of police, a municipal clerk and a municipal court clerk, all to be commissioned by the president. Later that year, a Grand Cess revenue division was authorized by the legislature to hear all complaints for default in payment of taxes, licenses and other forms of internal revenue].
