![]() Nestled on the banks of the Ottawa and Rideau Rivers, approximately 200 kilometres west of Montreal and 400 kilometres northeast of Toronto, Ottawa is Canada's capital city. Founded in 1826 and formerly called Bytown, Ottawa was named Canada's capital by Queen Victoria in 1857, with its location picked because it would be difficult for the Americans to invade from the south. Today, the city is Canada's 4th largest with about a million people. |
