The Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton was a census division in Ontario, Canada which existed from 1969 until 2001.
It was created in 1969 when Carleton County became large enough to become a regional municipality. At the same time, Cumberland Township was added from Russell County. At this time the City of Eastview was renamed the City of Vanier.
In 1974 the police villages of City View, Kenmore, Manotick, Metcalfe, North Gower, Osgoode Station, and St. Joseph d'Orleans were dissolved. Goulbourn Township annexed the villages of Richmond and Stittsville. The Townships of Marlborough and North Gower merged to become Rideau Township. At the same time the Townships of Torbolton, Fitzroy and Huntley merged to become West Carleton.
In 1978 the Township of March became the City of Kanata and annexed parts of Nepean and Goulbourn. At the same time the Township of Nepean became the City of Nepean.
In 1981 the Township of Gloucester became the City of Gloucester.
In 1999 the Township of Cumberland became the City of Cumberland.
In 2001, all the municipalities amalgamated to form the City of Ottawa megacity.
