<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nKanata was an independent city from 1978 until 2001 when it became part of Ottawa. Located west of the Ottawa Greenbelt, it was developed by William Teron in 1964. His vision was to create homes within rural communities separated from the city by natural landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The area became a center for high-tech research and development in the 1970s, with 120 hectares designated for this purpose. One notable example is Mitel Corp, and the nearby Hamnett Pinhey estate, which has been converted into a museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Nepean<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNamed after Sir Evan Nepean, the area saw its first permanent settler in 1810. The construction of the Rideau Canal spurred development, and between 1889 and 1959, portions of Nepean were annexed by Ottawa, reducing its size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nepean became popular for suburban living, and today, it is home to six industrial business parks along the Rideau River. The area officially merged with Ottawa in 2001, and it is also where the headquarters of Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Cumberland<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCumberland, established in 1802, was initially known as Fuberville and later as Osborne before being renamed Cumberland in 1864. By the late 1890s, the area thrived due to its mills, factories, and trade. It was annexed into Ottawa in 2001, with the district bordered by regional and colonial roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Goulbourn<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFounded in 1818, Goulbourn lies approximately 20 km southwest of Ottawa\u2019s core. Richmond was the first major settlement, and Stittsville was the largest community. In 2001, Goulbourn became a district of Ottawa. The area is named after Henry Goulbourn, the Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies from 1812 to 1826.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Osgoode Township<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis township, founded in 1798 along the Rideau River, became an independent township in 1850 and joined Ottawa in 2001. It is named after William Osgoode, the first Chief Justice of Upper Canada. Early settlers were attracted by the fertile land and stands of white oak and pine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Rideau<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nRideau is a historical township in eastern Ontario, created in 1974 from the merger of Marlborough, North Gower, and Long Island. It became part of Ottawa in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>West Carleton<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis township was formed in 1974 from the merger of Fitzroy, Huntley, and Torbolton. In 2001, West Carleton became a district of Ottawa, contributing to the city\u2019s expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
