The settlement around Kitchener was founded by German Mennonite pioneers from Pennsylvania in 1803. The city was called Berlin up to WW1, when it was renamed due to prejudices at the time. There was a time when Toronto and the province of Ontario had German-speaking majorities. Germans are the largest ethnic group in the USA and are the majority in several states.
