Contents

It is the county seat and is home to most government offices for the county, including the Sûreté du Québec, and has French and English elementary schools. Campbell's Bay is in the heart of the Pontiac, as it is situated between Shawville and Fort-Coulonge. It also lies completely enclosed by the municipality of Litchfield on all sides, with the exception of the Ottawa River to the west.

History

In 1851, Lieutenant Donald Campbell, a member of the Scottish Regiment, received a large tract of land along a bay of the Ottawa River (now known as Lac à Campbell [6] ), which was named after him. He settled there and operated a sawmill. [7] In 1888, the Campbell's Bay Post Office opened and in 1904, the village municipality was formed when it separated from Litchfield. [1]

A hanging took place in 1935 in Campbell's Bay Court Yard. Michael Bradley was convicted for the murder of five family members. He was the last person to be hanged in Campbell's Bay.

In 2003, it changed status from Village Municipality to (regular) Municipality. [1]
