Located just 25 minutes east of Ottawa via Highway 417, the Municipality of Casselman is much more than just a town: it's a charming and thriving community steeped in rich history and vibrant culture. Founded by Martin Casselman in 1844, the town owes its name to this visionary who built a sawmill and contributed to the development of the region. Over the years, the town has flourished around the railway linking Ottawa and Montreal, with the current station becoming a heritage site housing a museum and tourist information center.
At the entrance of the Municipality, a massive Franco-Ontarian flag proudly waves, symbolizing the deep pride in the French language and culture that characterizes our community.
