Fitzroy Township, Ontario
- Fitzroy Township, Ontario
Fitzroy is an historic township originally part of Carleton County in eastern Ontario, Canada.
Fitzroy was located in the western part of the county, bordered to the northeast by Torbolton Township, to the southeast by Huntley Township, to the southwest by Pakenham Township and to the northwest by the Ottawa River.
The township was established in 1823. The first permanent settler is believed to have been Charles Shirreff around 1818. Shirreff founded the settlement of Fitzroy Harbour in 1831. The township was an important centre of the timber trade during the 19th century. In 1974, the township was amalgamated with Huntley and Torbolton to form West Carleton. In 2001, West Carleton became part of the new city of Ottawa.
Fitzroy took its name from Sir Charles Augustus FitzRoy, son-in-law to
Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond who was Governor General of British North America from 1818 to 1819.
