The region around the modern Ottawa River, after the end of the last glacial period, was initially part of the Champlain Sea and was inhabited by ancient tribes as retreat of the sea.

on the banks of the river of the same name, as well as the Rido River and the Rido Canal, the city center is located at the confluence with the Ottawa River. The northern coast of the Ottawa River is the city of Gatineau, which was brought with Ottawa into a single urban agglomeration, the National Capital Region.
