Frederick William Strange was an English-born physician and surgeon who made his career in Ontario, Canada. Born on 9 September 1844, the son of Thomas Strange of Berkshire, he studied medicine at Liverpool and at University College in London before coming to Ontario in 1869. He served for many years as a militia medical officer, becoming deputy surgeon general for the Canadian militia from 1893 to 1896, and he was coroner for York County. As a Liberal-Conservative he represented York North in the House of Commons of Canada from 1878 to 1882, and he was an unsuccessful candidate for a seat there in 1896. He died on 5 June 1897 at the age of fifty-two. The community of Strange was named in his honour after he secured a post office for it in 1880.
