It was originally part of Osgoode Township but it became part of Ottawa in 2001. Originally called Osgoode Station, its name was shortened to Osgoode in 1962.
The community took its name from William Osgoode, the first Chief Justice of Upper Canada.[2]
Present day
Notable landmarks of the community include the Stuart Holmes Arena for ice hockey, the Osgoode Community Centre and its surrounding recreation facilities, the local mall, and numerous shops within the village.
Although Osgoode does not have an airport, the closest one is located approximately 3 miles (5 km) from the Kars/Rideau Valley Air Park on the opposite side of the Rideau River.[3]
In popular culture
In the 2020 American disaster film Greenland, starring Gerard Butler, several private planes leave from Osgoode to take refugees to Thule Air Base in Greenland.[4]
