Carleton County was created in 1800 from portions of Dundas and Grenville counties. It was named after Guy Carleton, 1st Baron Dorchester. Early Carleton County included a vague area of Eastern Ontario that included most of what is now Lanark County plus the area of what is now Ottawa west of the Rideau River. Originally part of Johnstown District for administrative purposes, it became part of Bathurst District, with judicial seat at Perth in 1823. In 1838, a separate Dalhousie District, with judicial seat at Bytown, was created with the same boundaries as Carleton County had in 1969 when it was abolished. In 1850, the Districts in Ontario were re-distributed into Counties by the Municipal Corporations Act and the administrative district of Dalhousie was replaced by Carleton County. 1800 (MDCCC) was an exceptional common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, but a leap year starting on Sunday of the Julian calendar. ...
