 British American Land Company   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
British American Land Company, chartered 20 March 1834 and promoted by John GALT, CANADA COMPANY founder; Edward ELLICE, Lower Canada's largest absentee landowner; and others.
Before 1844 its activities satisfied no one: the few settlers who came to the relatively inaccessible holdings complained of high land costs and harsh company policy; local politicians resented the fact that control over the purchase of money went to the executive branch of the government; and British shareholders demanded dividends.
After ceding 206 898 ha to the government in 1841 in lieu of overdue payments, the company appointed Alexander T., John Galt's son, as local commissioner (1844-55).

He was a witness to the striking success of this colonization project in the years 1835—37, when the British American Land Company built roads, bridges, and even villages for immigrants and transformed Sherbrooke from a modest village into a small town with well laid-out streets.
The company directors, at the end of their resources, entrusted both the chairmanship of the board and direct supervision of the work to Galt.
Since their shares were exchanged at par with the new company’s, although they were worth barely half that on the market, it is understandable that the shareholders voted Galt a commission of about $7,000 along with the usual thanks.
