Osnabruck Township, Ontario

Encyclopedia : O : OS : OSN : Osnabruck Township, Ontario

Osnabruck is a historical township in eastern Ontario, third of the original eight "Royal Townships" established along the Saint Lawrence River in Upper Canada. It was named after a title formerly held by Prince Frederick, son of George III, who at one time was Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück in Lower Saxony. This area was first settled by members of Sir John Johnson's King’s Royal Regiment of New York. Osnabruck was part of Stormont County and is now part of South Stormont Township. Some parts of this township were submerged by the creation of the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
