Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. It is home to Canada’s parliament building and peace tower. Ottawa is known for its wide variety of culture since it is near Montreal, a French speaking city.
The Algonquin people were the first to settle on the land. In 1608, the first European explorer settled on the land. Many followed in 1613. Later the Europeans introduces a disease called the small pox to the Algonquin people. This created conflict between the two tribes, causing the Algonquin tribe to lose control over the Ottawa river and have to settle somewhere else. ( Ottawa - The Canadian Encyclopedia.)
