Carp Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
rural community in the City of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
About Carp
By 1866, Carp was a post village with a population of 200 of the Township of Huntley on the Carp river, 32 km (20 mi) from Ottawa. The village contained three stores, workshops, three hotels, and a town hall. The village takes its name from the Carp River which runs through the village. The main street used to be a section of the Trans-Canada Highway and carried much of the traffic coming from the west into Ottawa. However the village has been bypassed with the development of the Highway 417. With the amalgamation of municipal governments in the region in 2001, Carp is now governed as part of the new city of Ottawa.
