Lower Canada -- See Also Québec (Province)
The old Province of Quebec was established by the Proclamation of 1763, which came into effect in August 1764. Its territory was limited to the extreme southern portion of the present geographic area of the Province of Québec. The Quebec Act, 1774, extended its boundaries to include all that part of the present geographic area of Ontario and Québec not within Rupert's Land at the time; Labrador; and part of what is now the states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. The latter area became part of the United States in 1783. The Constitutional Act, 1791, divided the remaining area into the two new provinces of Lower Canada and Upper Canada, which were reunited to form a single jurisdiction, the Province of Canada, by the Union Act of 1841. Between 1841 and 1867, the old Lower Canada was known as Canada East, and in 1867 entered Confederation as the Province of Québec. Québec's territory was gradually extended north to Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, reaching its present extent in 1912 and 1927.For examples of additional topical and form subdivisions applicable under this heading see subdivisions listed under Canada.
