After The War of 1812
The 2nd Regiment remained in the York Militia until sub-units of it broke off to form the Halton Militia in 1846 and the Peel Militia in 1852. These Militia units were broken into Independent Companies in 1856, and were later formed into the 20th Halton Battalion of Infantry and the 36th Peel Battalion in 1866. These two Regiment would later form The Lorne Scots.
The 2nd Regiment of York Militia is perpetuated in the Canadian Army by the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry.
