War of 1812, many of the disbanded rangers saw active service with the Upper Canadian militia. During the Rebellions of 1837, Samuel Peters Jarvis raised a new Queen's Rangers out of the York Militia to fight the rebels, which again disbanded soon after being raised. Legacy A Canadian Army Reserve Regiment called The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) (RCAC) traces its roots to the original Rogers' Rangers. In 2012 the Rangers were assigned the perpetuation of three War of 1812 units and received battle honours accordingly. An Ontario historical plaque was erected in Yorktown, Virginia, by the province to commemorate the Queen's Rangers' role in Ontario's heritage. An elementary school in Copetown, Ontario was named after the Queen's Rangers in 1958. This school was closed in 2019.
