Bearbrook is a dispersed rural community in Cumberland Ward in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
It is named after the nearby small creek Bear Brook, a tributary of the South Nation River.
Bearbrook Village's Postal Office (in the General Store) was opened in 1855 with John Walsh being named the first post master.
In the mid 19th century, during the early days of settlement, the Bear Brook was used by loggers for floating timber to sawmills, a few of which operated in Carlsbad Springs from 1854 to 1905.
However the brook was too small and dry in the summer, and its use for transportation was quickly discontinued upon completion of Russell Road.
