Carleton Place is a town in Eastern Ontario, Canada, in Lanark County, about 55 kilometres (34 mi) west of downtown Ottawa.

[4] Carleton Place was first settled by Europeans when British authorities prompted immigration to Lanark County in the early 19th century.

In 1829, the area was renamed Carleton Place, after a street in Glasgow, Scotland, when a post office was constructed.

The community's economic growth was enabled by the construction of the Brockville and Ottawa Railway later in the century.

In 2007 the building was moved to its current location, 170 Bridge St. Today, the Moore house is home to the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce and Visitor and Information Center.

[7] Local forests were depleted of hemlock to provide bark for the leather tanning industry.
