Before its amalgamation with the City of Ottawa in 2001, Navan was located within Cumberland Township.

The Navan Fair is an annual event that takes place in August. It is held in the fairground off Colonial Road. The fair features midway rides, live music, concession stands, demolition derbies, exhibitions, a parade, and various shows. The first fair took place in 1946. The admission for the first year of the fair was 35 cents for adults, 25 cents for children, and 25 cents for cars. [6]
