Osgoode Township

It was an independent township in Carleton County until its amalgamation with the city in 2001.

The township took its name from William Osgoode, the first Chief Justice of Upper Canada.

[3][4] Originally the territory of the Mississaugas, the land for the township was acquired by the British in the 1780s.

The first two township roads intersected in Baker's Corners (now Metcalfe).

Further settlement in the township followed the construction of the Rideau Canal and the railway through Osgoode.
