The Ottawa river was explored in 1613 by Samuel de Champlain and is named for a band of Algonquin Indians that once inhabited the area.

It became a chief route of explorers, fur traders, and missionaries to the upper Great Lakes.

Lumbering became the dominant activity along the river in the early 19th century, and by mid-century it had become the economic engine of the region.

In 1832 the Rideau Canal, linking Ottawa to Lake Ontario, was completed.
