Description From Owner:

Pop. 6,552. In McNab T., Renfrew C., on L. des Chats (a widening of the Ottawa R. at the mouth of the Madawaska R.) and C. Rds. 1 & 2, just off Hwy 17,67 km. W of Ottawa.
In 1823, Archibald McNab, 13th chief of the Clan McNab, came to Upper Canada with 80 Scottish Highlanders and took control of an unsettled township, which he named after himself.
He built a log house that he called Kennell Lodge and established the patriarchal rule of a Scottish chief, compelling settlers to pay illegal fees for their lands.
In 1831, McNab met George and Andrew Buchanan in Montreal and persuaded them to settle in his township. The Buchanans named the place Arnprior after their home in Stirlingshire, Scotland.
In the 1830s the Toronto Examiner exposed McNab's illegal activities and, following a government investigation, he lost his settlement rights in 1840 and returned to Scotland.
