When did Ontario become a province?
The Province of Ontario came into existence on July 1, 1867, the date of Confederation. The pre-Confederation Province of Canada was severed into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in order to reflect the conflicting political interests of the English-speaking inhabitants of the region of Canada West, and the French speaking inhabitants of the region of Canada East, respectively.
This division reflects the earlier division of the original Province of Quebec - which was formed when Britain acquired the colony of Canada from France - into the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, which was done to allow those of English descent and those of French descent respectively to live by their respective laws and customs. They were reunited into the [United] Province of Canada by the Act of Union 1840under the hopes that it would help assimilate the French speakers, and in an attempt to strengthen British North America from US invasion.
