Founded in 1826 as Bytown and incorporated as Ottawa in 1855, the city has become the political center of Canada. Its original boundaries were expanded through numerous annexations and were eventually replaced by new incorporation and merger of the city in 2001, significantly increasing its land area. Ottawa's name was chosen about the Ottawa River, whose name is derived from the Algonquin Odawa, which means "to trade." Just a little history to share about the city you're planning to visit. Wherever you may be headed in Ottawa, we have a convenient location to pick-up your rental car.
