Canada West

 

Region of Canada now known as Ontario. In 1791 – 1841 it was known as Upper Canada and in 1841 – 67 as Canada West. Settled primarily by English-speaking immigrants, it sought confederation with Canada East in order to secure the unified government needed for effective administration and the construction of intercolonial railways. The unified Dominion of Canada was made official by the British North America Act of 1867.
