Ottawa was settled in 1826, when it was originally established as a lumbering town called Bytown. The settlement grew rapidly due to its strategic location along the Ottawa River and its access to timber resources. In 1855, Bytown was officially renamed Ottawa and became the capital of the Province of Canada in 1857.
