Gatineau, Fourth largest city in Quebec, Canada
Gatineau sits along the northern bank of the Ottawa River and forms part of Canada's National Capital Region across from Ottawa, Ontario. The city consists of several merged districts that spread across a large area.
Philemon Wright established the settlement in 1800 and began an agricultural community that later developed into a center of timber trade. The city grew during the 19th century through forestry and its location on the river.
The Canadian Museum of History displays exhibitions about the country's heritage through artifacts, documents, and multimedia installations. The collections guide visitors through different eras of Canadian history.
The Société de transport de l'Outaouais operates regular bus services connecting all sectors with downtown Ottawa. The bridges across the river allow easy access to the city on the opposite side.
Gatineau Park covers a large area and offers year-round outdoor activities from cross-country skiing in winter to hiking in summer. The rolling landscape of the park sits just minutes from the city center.
