Carleton County is the name of a historic county in Ontario, Canada. In 1969, it was superseded by the Regional Municipality of Ottawa–Carleton. In 2001, the Regional Municipality and its eleven local municipalities (including Ottawa) were replaced by the current City of Ottawa. HistoryUpon the creation of the Johnston District in 1800, Carleton County, named after Guy Carleton, 1st Baron Dorchester, was created from portions of Dundas and Grenville counties, comprising the following territory: {{quote|... the township of Nepean, with the tract of land to be hereafter laid out into townships, between Nepean and a line drawn north fifteen degrees from the north-west angle of the township of Crosby, until it intersects the Ottawa River, with such of the islands in the said river as are wholly, or in greater part opposite thereto...[1]
}}In 1824, upon the creation of Bathurst District (with its judicial seat at Perth), Carleton was withdrawn from Johnstown District and divided into two counties, so that its constituent townships were distributed as follows:[2] Counties comprising Bathurst District (1824) | Carleton | Lanark |
|---|
{{div col|colwidth=30em}}- Nepean

{{div col end}}together with all the unsurveyed lands within the District of Bathurst, and such Islands in the Ottawa River as are wholly or in greater part opposite to the said townships and unsurveyed land
In 1838, Carleton was withdrawn from Bathurst District to form Dalhousie District, its judicial seat at Bytown, with the following territorial adjustments:[3] - Pakenham township was transferred to the new Renfrew County
- North Gower and Marlborough townships were added from Johnstown District
- Gloucester and Osgoode townships were added from Ottawa District
Effective January 1, 1850, as a consequence of the passage of the Baldwin Act,[4] Dalhousie District was abolished, and Carleton replaced it for municipal and judicial purposes.
