Beginning in 1784, large numbers of '''American Loyalists''' came from the United States to settle along the St. Lawrence River. Most of the earliest settlers of Upper Canada (Ontario) were natives of the United States. By 1810, eighty percent of the white population of the province was estimated to have been born in the U.S., but only 25 percent of them were Loyalists (who had arrived by 1796) or their descendants. The rest were Americans who had recently come to Canada for land or other economic opportunities. '''New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania''' were listed as states of origin of many of these "late Loyalists," as they were sometimes called. | Beginning in 1784, large numbers of '''American Loyalists''' came from the United States to settle along the St. Lawrence River.
