UNITED PROVINCE OF CANADA
In 1840 the British possessions of Lower Canada (renamed Canada East, now Quebec) and of Upper Canada (renamed Canada West, now Ontario) were merged into the United Province of Canada, which was granted selfgovernment in 1848. In 1867 the United Province of Canada joined with other British territories in the area to form the Dominion of Canada. At that moment the Province was redivided into its original components of Ontario and Quebec. __________________________________________________________________________________CHIEF BRITISH ADMINISTRATORS
