The United Empire Loyalist
Ontario is Canada's most populated province. It was first called
"Canada West and Upper Canada" and was part of British North
America. Many settlers in the late 18th century and early 19th century
were Loyalists who had left the Thirteen Colonies at the time of
the American Rebellion and migrated either directly to Ontario or to the
maritime provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia first, then on to
Ontario (Upper Canada). Others were soldiers from the British forces
that were granted land for their services in the rebellion or the War
of 1812. Later many English, Scots and Irish settlers migrated directly
to Upper Canada. Many of these settlers helped establish the province
and later many migrated further west or into the United States.
