I have previously posted social data maps showing concentrations of Irish people in the U.S. These maps were created from federal census data (see 1874, 1910 & 1930, and 1990). North of the border, similar, and very beautiful maps exist for Canada, with data drawn from the 1901 census. This post, and the next, will show the four maps that were created for the country, as it existed then.
Areas with people predominantly of Irish origin are color-coded green.
Origins of the people of Canada 1901 New Brunswick, Nova Scotia & Quebec (south) Green sections = Irish origin |
Origins of the people of Canada 1901 Ontario (south) & Quebec (south) Green sections = Irish origin |
The maps come from the excellent David Rumsey website. You can zoom in for more details, and find more information about the maps on the site. Click here to access the top map (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec [south]). Click here to access the bottom map (Ontario [south] and Quebec [south]).
