Home > Nepean, Ontario

Nepean was a western suburb of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada until it was amalgamated with Ottawa and the surrounding cities in 2001 to become the new city of Ottawa. While originally a separate community along the Ottawa River it is now politically integrated with Ottawa. However Nepean as sense of community still exists for its residents. Politically Nepean had been quite distinct from the old city of Ottawa and the higher level regional government. Nepean pioneered policies of fiscal responsibility that contrasted sharply with the tax and spend philosophies of the other governments in the area. It entered malgamation with a large fiscal surplus and a record of tax restraint whihc was in sharp contrast to the large debt burdent of the city of Ottawa.

Even before the amalgation of Ottawa and its surrounding cities in Ontario, Nepean had in the 1800s been below the Ottawa River and west of the O-Train railway (approximately). Ottawa had been, basically, just the downtown Ottawa we see today.

Nepean, was incorporated as a township in 1850 and was incorporated as a city in 1978.
