In 1850, the Districts in Ontario were re-distributed into Counties by the General Act of 1849 and the administrative district of Dalhousie was replaced by Carleton County.
Ontario is thus pre-eminently an agricultural province, though the growth of manufactures has increased the importance of the towns and cities, and many of the farmers are seeking new homes in the provinces of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
In the rural districts an attempt is being made to increase efficiency by the consolidation of several small schools and the conveyance of the children to one central building.
In the discussions from which sprang the federation of 1867, Ontario was the one province strongly in favor of the union, which was only rendered possible by the coalition of her rival leaders, J. Macdonald and George Brown.
