๐จ๐ฆ L'Orignal is a Franco-Ontarian village and former municipality, now part of Champlain Township in eastern Ontario, Canada. L'Orignal likely took its name from its location on the Ottawa River once known as Pointe ร l'Orignal ("Moose Point"), where moose crossed the river. It was one of the seigneuries of New France.
History In 1674, the Company of New France granted the Seigneurie de L'Orignac (later renamed the Seigneurie de Longueuil) to Franรงois Prรฉvost. It was one of the two seigneuries the King of France granted in present-day Ontario, along with La Salle's Seigneurie de Cataraqui (now Kingston). As part of New France, the area was ceded to Great Britain in 1763. The seigneurie was assigned to Upper Canada (Ontario) during the creation of Upper Canada and Lower Canada (Quebec) in 1791.
In 1798, Nathan Treadwell, of Plattsburgh, New York, purchased 230,000 acres (930ย kmยฒ) of seigneurial land. The government confiscated the property during the War of 1812 and returned it to his son in 1823. In 1816, the Village of L'Orignal was chosen as the district town for the Ottawa District. The Ottawa District Courthouse, built in L'Orignal in 1825, is still in use. The decommissioned L'Orignal Jail is now a museum. L'Orignal Parish was established in 1836 as the first Catholic parish in Prescott County.
The Village was incorporated in 1876 and amalgamated into Champlain Township in 1997 as one of four wards. It is now the county seat of Prescott and Russell United Counties.
Geography According to Statistics Canada, the former village had a total area of 5.68 square km (2.19ย sqย mi).
L'Orignal has a population of over 1,450 people. L'Orignal also forms the centre of the wider Prescott and Russell Counties which has a population of over 89,333 people.
