Corkery History
Corkery History
Corkery is a small, friendly, family-oriented rural community in West Carleton-March in the city of Ottawa, Canada’s national capital. The area was settled in the nineteenth century by a group of approximately 100 Irish families from the County of Cork, known as the Peter Robinson Settlers. Now over 4600 people reside in our community (2011 Census).
Birth of The Corkery Community Association
Birth of The Corkery Community Association
Did you know that the original name for what we now call “The Corkery Community Association” was “The Upper Huntley Community Association”? Although the name Corkery Community Association had been commonly used in the area and with the City of Ottawa for a number of years, this name was only formerly adopted by Association members at a formal meeting of members September 21, 2004. Shortly afterwards, our Incorporated name was changed to reflect this as well.
