The area was first settled by the Scottish Archibald McNab who named the area after his family's ancestral home of Arnprior, Scotland . After becoming reknowed for the despotic way he treated those on his land he was forced to vacate the area in 1840 and the area was vacant until 1851 when it became incorporated into eastern Ontario's massive timber industry. Arnprior was incorporated as a village in 1862. Thirty years later (in 1892), it was incorporated as a town. It occupies a beautiful spot at the confluence of the Madawaska and Ottawa rivers.
