In 1950, what is now Ottawa's Westboro neighbourhood was annexed from Nepean Township.
This area would be named Westboro Ward for just two years.
In 1952, the size of Ottawa City Council was decreased, and the area became known as Ward 8 which eventually became Queensboro Ward in 1956.
[1] It was given this name by combining "Queensway" with "Westboro".
Its eastern boundary was Island Park Drive and Fisher Avenue, whilst its western boundary varied.
