L'Orignal

L'Orignal (/ˌlɒrɪnˈjæl/) is a Franco-Ontarian village and former municipality, now part of Champlain Township in eastern Ontario, Canada.

In 1674, the Company of New France granted the Seigneurie de L'Orignac to François Prévost.

In 1798, Nathan Treadwell, of Plattsburgh, New York, purchased 230,000 acres (930 km2) of seigneurial land.

The Village was incorporated in 1876 and amalgamated into Champlain Township in 1997 as one of four wards.

According to Statistics Canada, the former village had a total area of 5.68 square kilometres (2.19 sq mi).
