==Ontario in the Canadian Censuses==
==History of Ontario Censuses==
===Population Schedules - Online Records===
In 1851, Canada begin keeping censuses every 10 years. However, these censuses were often taken in different years, and it was not until 1871, after the Dominion of Canada was created, that censuses were taken regularly.<ref>Library and Archives Canada, “Censuses,” February 4, 2021, https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/census.aspx.</ref>
The first census in Canada was in 1851. Ontario was called Canada West (also known at times as Upper Canada) in the 1851 and 1861 Censuses. Starting in 1871, it was known as the province of Ontario and is in all Canada Censuses thereafter.
