Encyclopedia: Upper Canada
Upper Canada was a British province located in what is now the Canadian province of Ontario. Upper Canada officially existed from 1791 to 1841 and covered generally present-day Southern Ontario. Its name reflected its elevation, not its latitude, as it was located on the Upper Great Lakes, upriver from Lower Canada. By latitude, Upper Canada was mainly south of Lower Canada.
