Ontario has had several former names throughout its history. Initially, it was part of the French territory known as New France, referred to as "Canada" in the early 17th century. Following British control, it was known as the Province of Quebec until 1791, when it was divided into Upper Canada and Lower Canada. In 1841, Upper Canada was renamed the Province of Canada, and it officially became Ontario in 1867 when Canada became a confederation.
