Unexpected Appeal:

Metcalfe has a history stretching back to the early 19th century, when it served as a stop on the stagecoach route connecting Ottawa and Cornwall.

Settlers cleared dense forest and swamp to build farms here long before Confederation, and that spirit of resilience continues in the community today. After amalgamation with the City of Ottawa in 2001, Metcalfe retained its distinct village identity and character, setting it apart from the rapid residential growth seen in neighbouring communities like Greely.
