Brant is accordingly often referred to as the founder of Burlington, and the city of Burlington still celebrates an annual Joseph Brant Day in early August. Joseph Brant and his household settled on this tract of land around 1802. Treaty 8 concerned the purchase of the Brant Tract, 14.0 km 2 (3,450 acres) on Burlington Bay which the British granted to Mohawk chief Joseph Brant for his service in the American Revolutionary War. The British purchased the land on which Burlington now stands from the Mississaugas in Upper Canada Treaties 3 (1792), 8 (1797), 14 (1806), and 19 (1818). In 1792, John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada, named the western end of Lake Ontario " Burlington Bay" after the town of Bridlington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. īefore the 19th century, the area between the provincial capital of York and the township of West Flamborough was home to the Mississauga nation. The hotel was expropriated and used as a military hospital in 1917, demolished and rebuilt in the 1930s, and then demolished in 1964. Located on the shore of Lake Ontario in Burlington, the hotel was erected on the former homestead of Joseph Brant, and was the largest resort in Canada.
Located approximately halfway between Toronto and Niagara Falls, it is part of the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton metropolitan census area.
