Show detail Hide detail

Upper Canada and Canada West. Gazettes : The Upper Canada Gazette as the official gazette published all government notices, proclamations and acts, but also published general news items. The press began operation at Newark (Niagara) in April 1793 and was moved to York (Toronto) in 1798. The title varied over time, being the York Gazette after 1801 and incorporating the Weekly Register, 1822-1825, and the U.E. Loyalist, 1826-1828. After the union of Upper and Lower Canada, only one official gazette was needed and the contract with Robert Stanton for production of the Upper Canada Gazette was terminated in 1843.
