History of Ontario Please advise if errors are discovered Special thanks to Lorine McGinnis Schulze's Page Creation of Ontario: 1 July 1867 Motto: Ut Incepit Fidelis Sic Permanet (Loyal it began, Loyal it remains) The Province of Ontario was created at the time of confederation, 1 July 1867, before then it was known as Canada West, and before 1841 as Upper Canada The name, Ontario, comes from an Iroquoian word that is sometimes translated as meaning "beautiful lake", "beautiful water" or "handsome lake". In 1862 Dr. Henry Scadding suggested that Ontario might have come from the name that the Seneca Indians used for themselves "Entouhonorous" (the people) Indian settlement began in prehistoric times. Inhabitants by 100 AD were the Algonquin tribes of Ojibwa, Cree and Algonquin, and the Iroquoian tribes of Iroquois, Huron, Petun, Neutral, Erie and Susquehannock. The first European settlement was St. Marie Among The Huron's in 1639.

Please use your browser's Find feature to make sure you don't miss your surname, which might be buried inside a different surname biography. BRANTFORD TOWNSHIP Page 361 The settlement of this township dates from the commencement of the present century. The first white settler was Mr. John File, who found the entire region covered with forest, oak, pine and maple, and used as a hunting ground by the Six Nation Indians of the Iroquois tribe, who considered the whole region on each side of the Grand River as their indefeasible property. Bottom Page 361-362 Bottom Page 362-365 When the last verdict had been rendered and the court closed, the ox-team was hitched up and the two days' drive through the woods was resumed. Well was it when the wolves, hunger-driven through the oak forest, failed to over take the slow-moving equipage. As late as 1830 the entire area of what is now Brantford Township remained in the possession of the Six Nations Indians, but at that date the town plot of Brantford and the north part of the township of the same name were deeded away, and further surrenders were made from time to time until the whole township was ceded and settled. When a subdivision was effected of the four original districts into which the Province of Upper Canada was divided, this township was made a part of the Gore District, and was incorporated in the County of Wentworth, until it was attached to the new County of Brant on the formation of the latter in the year 1852.

Please click any image for a larger version Opera performance in the Hamilton area began in the 1960's with the "Hamilton Opera Company", an amateur company led by Marty Coughan and Giuseppe Macina, which performed at the Mohawk College Auditorium for approximately 10 years. The next step was taken in 1975 with the creation of "Festitalia" - a festival designed to celebrate Hamilton's Italian community and to encourage Italian trade and culture in Hamilton. Opera productions from Catiana in Sicily were imported to the festival in 1977 and 1978. In 1979, Festitalia took the bold step of mounting its very own production of Puccini's LaBohème - an effort that was praised by both critics and audiences alike. The positive community response to these efforts led to a study to determine the best future options for operatic productions in Hamilton. Importing Canadian Opera Company productions from Toronto was a scenario seriously considered. However, it was felt that a professional opera company in Hamilton was a viable and more desirable alternative. In 1980, a new organization was incorporated as Opera Hamilton led by Stephen Thomas as its first Artistic Director. Initial start-up funds from Westinghouse Canada and the City of Hamilton allowed the fledgling company to commence operations without any significant federal or provincial support. In addition, an agreement was reached with CHCH-TV to televise the season, thereby broadening the audience base for the company's early productions. Between 1980 and 1986, Opera Hamilton mounted two mainstage productions each season.

Our Unlikely Name In a region where the early settlers' Irish, English and Scottish origins are prominent in the names of the communities they founded Lanark, Corkery, Glen Isle, Scotch Corners, Tatlock and the like it seems more than a little odd that our town should be named for a now-forgotten Mexican general. Almonte went through a number of name changes in the early days, from Shepherd's Falls to Shipman's Mills, Ramsayville, and by about 1855, Waterford; but the federal post office pointed out there was already a Waterford in the west of the province, and told townsfolk the name would have to change yet again. At the time relations between Canada and the United States were at a low ebb, especially here in Ontario. The province's first major wave of settlers, after all, had been Loyalists, Americans whose sympathies for England prompted them to flee northward during and after the Revolution; and the suspicion lingered in many Canadian minds that the US still intended a settling of accounts.

It was originally known as Freetown until February 12, 1808, when its name officially became Ontario. Ontario is located in the northwest corner of Wayne County, with Lake Ontario forming its northern border. The town consists of slightly over 19,100 acres of mostly level surface, with a slight inclination toward the lake. The southern part of the town contains the famous ridge, thought to be the southern shore of Lake Ontario in the far distant past. In 1806, the first settler, Freeman Hopkins, came to Ontario from Rhode Island. As he was a Quaker, he and his family returned to Rhode Island at the outbreak of the War of 1812 to avoid the hostilities because of their close proximity to Lake Ontario. However, in 1818, the family eturned to Ontario.

In 1615, Samuel de Champlain, the French commander of New France, himself visited the area for the purpose of trading for furs. He was accompanied by Jesuit missionaries who began attempting to convert the natives to Christianity. When the Iroquois started running low on furs in 1649, they began pushing the Hurons (and the Jesuit missionaries) northwards out of the area. By 1660, with the help of several tribes on the west shore of Lake Huron, the Iroquois were driven back across Lake Ontario and the area stabilized. In 1849, the Hudson’s Bay Company set up a post at Lake Nipissing, but the post was not a competitive and commercial success, and closed in 1879. By 1850, however, the region became very busy with lumbering and mining activity, and the British government sought a treaty with the Indians. After Treaty 61 was signed with fifteen elected Huron chiefs, there were disputes over lumber company encroachment on forests inside Indian reserves that continued until early in the 1900s when the Indians were paid for timber rights.

Discourses in Music Volume 2 Number 2 (Winter 2000-2001) Sublimating Ontario History: Gary Kulesha's new opera at the University of Toronto As its first offering of the 2000-2001 season, the Opera Division at the University of Toronto Faculty of Music presented four performances of Gary Kulesha's latest work, The Last Duel , between November 2 and 5, 2000. The plot is based on an 1833 incident in Perth, involving the schoolteacher Elizabeth Hughes and her two suitors, John Wilson and Henri Lelièvre, which resulted in a death and a legislation banning duels by pistols in Upper Canada. The opera's final scene, its longest, was also its most successful. Kulesha developed a more sustained musical argument here, and related it closely to the dramatic situation. He composed a large-scale passacaglia, which subsumed Elizabeth's music in its inexorable momentum, trapping her tightly in the obligation to "follow the path of duty" by marrying the man who provoked the duel "on her behalf". Raffi Armenian kept things moving with his no-nonsense conducting, but could not always prevent the orchestra from overwhelming the singers. The cast of November 5 was remarkably even, and was challenged by the new score into giving concentrated performances. Colin Ainsworth [Henri Lelièvre] stood out because of his elegantly produced voice and sensitive phrasing. Tina Winter [Elizabeth Hughes] helped to increase the effect of the last scene with her committed acting, while Michael Sproule [John Wilson] never allowed others to overshadow his more prosaic character.
