En with masculine regions

"Reasons of pronunciation" is pretty vague. What masculine regions other than Ontario may use 'en'?

Bonjour Joakim !

It applies to masculine regions/states starting with a vowel:
Idaho, Ohio, Ontario, Oklahoma, Alabama, Illinois, ...

Here is a link to know the gender of US states (you can also find it in our lesson "Continents, countries, regions & states names are either feminine, masculine or plural (Gender)" :
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tats_des_%C3%89tats-Unis

I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
