Ontario is Canada's most populous, richest and second-largest province; it stretches from Middle Island in Lake Erie in the south (41º 40' N lat), Canada's southernmost point, to the Manitoba-Ontario border on Hudson Bay in the north (56º 51' N lat) and from the banks of the St Lawrence River in the east (74º 20' W long) to the Manitoba border in the west (95º 09' W long). For the most part Ontario's frontiers run through the lakes and rivers of the Great Lakes system on the south, and along the Ottawa River to the east; only in the northeast and northwest do borders follow geographical abstractions.
The name Ontario, from an Iroquoian word sometimes translated as meaning "beautiful lake" or "beautiful water," is apt, since lakes and rivers occupy one-sixth of the province's total area of just over one million km2. The word was first applied in 1641 to the easternmost of the Great Lakes, and "Old Ontario" was used to refer to the southern portion of land nearest the lake and was applied to the whole province in 1867.
