The township is named after Colonel Joseph-Ignace Aumond (1810–1879), a native of l'Assomption, who was one of the major timber merchants of the Ottawa Valley in the nineteenth century.

[1] Jos Bertrand, Cyrille Monette, and Édouard Goulet were its first mayors.

At the outset, these mills were powered by a water wheel which was replaced at the beginning of the twentieth century, by a turbine that, from 1929 onwards, also provided electricity to the villagers.

[6] Today, the municipality of Aumond revives its history by the redevelopment of the Moulin des Pères site in the heart of the village.

[6] The township is on the eastern shores of the Gatineau River along Route 107.
