Our history
On either side of the Nation River, midway between the cities of Ottawa and Cornwall, Ontario, lies the peaceful community of St-Albert. It occupies the south-western part of the municipality of The Nation, in the former Cambridge, in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, at the point where two movements of colonization from the shores of the Outaouais to the north and the St-Lawrence to the south met. Primarily agricultural, it first harvested its crops nearly two centuries ago.
