Canada, Ottawa Heritage Historical Markers

Following millennia of indigenous presence, trade routes and villages in the area, and French presence for the fur trade in the 17th and 18th centuries, Bytown (later renamed Ottawa) was established as a British settlement in 1826. This series includes markers erected by the City of Ottawa and its agencies, that describe Ottawa's historical heritage. Also included are markers erected by the various town and villages that have been subsumed into Ottawa in the recent amalgamation. Excluded are those terse plaques that merely describe that a property has been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.
