CASSELMAN, ONTARIO


'Casselman' is a village in eastern Ontario, Canada, in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell on the South Nation River.
It is a small village on the Trans-Canada Highway 417 between Ottawa and Montreal at the crossroads of Regional Road 7. Highway 138 to Cornwall and the USA is minutes away. It is served typically once a day by the Montreal-Ottawa VIA Rail train, in each direction.
According to the 2006 Statistics Canada Census:

★ Population: 3,294

★ % Change (2001-2006): 13.2

★ Dwellings: 1,280

★ Area (km²): 5

★ Density (persons per km²): 640.2
Casselman is surrounded on all sides by The Nation, since Casselman citizens refused to join the fusion of municipalities.
The village was named after Martin Castelman who built a sawmill near the site of the current town in 1844. The village installed modern water and sewer services that became operational in 1977.
Casselman hosts ''L'écho d'un peuple'', one of the biggest shows ever presented in Ontario.
