Wilberforce Colony was a colony established by free African American citizens, founded in c. 1829 north of present-day London, Ontario, Canada. It was the outgrowth of one of several movements connected with the American Colonization Society (which was established in 1816 to settle free blacks in an African colony). When American black communities favored emigration, they preferred a country where free blacks could hold full political control of their destiny.
