Sarsfield, Ontario is a small, rural town in the east portion of the City of Ottawa in the former township of Cumberland. The first residents of Sarsfield were mostly French-Canadians from Lower Canada. In 1854, families began to establish in the Sarsfield region, such as the the Potvin's, the St-Denis', the D'Aoust's, the Lafrance's and the Éthier's. One of these colonizers, Sévère D'Aoust, bought land from the Crown and later gave part of this land for the construction of a Roman Catholic church. The construction of this church had such an impact on the village that it was known as Daoust's Corner. Image File history File links Broom_icon. ...
