History

After the signing of the Treaty of Paris on September 3, 1783, the American Revolutionary War ended with the establishment of the state of Vermont. The border of Upper Canada was then defined at approximately 45 degrees north latitude.[3][4] The territory immediately adjacent to it became part of Quebec in 1848.
