The standing context
Since Aug. 27, 2026, U.S. federal naming systems use “Lake America” for the lake long recorded as Lake Ontario. Canada has not adopted the change, so which name you see on a map depends on where you are. Background: what Lake America is, who calls it what right now and every dated update.
