Description From Owner:
- Pop. 97. In Westmeath T., Renfrew C. on the Ottawa R. and C. Rds. 49 & 50, 32 km E of Pembroke.
- When Alexander Sherriff travelled through the Ottawa Valley in 1829, he described this area as La Posse and La Beauce Sett.
- La Passe may relate to the flight lines of wild geese along the Ottawa R. during their spring and fall migrations.
- At this point on their travels they fly across the 9-km-wide peninsula formed by Westmeath T. instead offollowing the sharp loop of the Ottawa R. In 1852 the community was called Gower Point but in 1906 it was renamed La Passe.
