Osgoode Township is a former township that is now a part of the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The township along the Rideau River was established in 1798 and incorporated in 1850. It was an independent township in Carleton County until its amalgamation with the city in 2001. It remains a largely rural area with only some 23,285 inhabitants as of the 2016 census.[1] As of the Canada 2021 Census, this had increased to 24,199. On Ottawa city council it is represented by George Darouze.[2]
Several branches of the Castor River, a tributary of the South Nation River, flow through the township.
The township took its name from William Osgoode, the first Chief Justice of Upper Canada.[3][4]
