Welcome to Carleton Place Ontario
Carleton Place, originally known as Morphy’s Falls, was chosen as a mill site by Edmond Morphy in 1819. It is located on the Mississippi River, a tributary of the Ottawa River. It became a village in 1870, and a town in 1890.
Both textile and lumber mills flourished here, but none are still operating. Some of the attractions of Carleton Place and surrounding area include Riverside Jam, Carleton Place Dragon Boat Festival, Morphy’s Falls Heritage Festival, Carleton Place Canoe Club, Victoria School Museum, Canada Veteran’s Hall of Valour, and of course the Mississippi River.
