Lake Ontario renamed Lake America

An executive order signed in August 2026 by U.S. President Donald J. Trump directs the federal government to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America. The order requires the Department of the Interior to update the Geographic Names Information System within 30 days and directs all federal agencies to use the new designation on official maps, documents, and communications. The change affects U.S. government materials and spatial data used by the public and private sectors. Officials said the move aims to standardize place names across federal records and improve consistency in national datasets. The order does not specify any changes to local signage by state or provincial authorities outside federal domains.
