История
[ редактировать ]Бристол Тауншип, уже показанный на карте Гейла и Дюбергера 1795 года, был официально создан в 1834 году. Он был назван в честь города Бристоль на юго-западе Англии, известного своими портовыми объектами . [ 4 ]
Первые поселенцы приехали из Англии, Шотландии и Ирландии, а затем последовали поселенцы из Германии, Франции и Польши. [ 5 ] В 1845 году было создано почтовое отделение, и в 1855 году муниципалитет поселка был создан вместе с соседней деревней залива Норвегии, района, которая в настоящее время является востребованным курортом на реке Оттава. [6] Its first mayor was William Craig and the mayor as of November 2009 is Brent Orr.[7]
Canada's first horse-drawn railroad was in the Bristol area. It was operated by the Union Forwarding Company, and ran from Pontiac Village bypassing the Chats Falls, to Union Village until 1886.[5]
From 1872 to 1894, iron ore was first mined. In 1956, a new open pit iron ore mine and processing facilities were built, employing up to 300 people. This was the first iron ore mining and pelletizing plant built in Quebec. It closed in 1976.[7]
On April 24, 2004, the Township Municipality of Bristol was changed to Municipality of Bristol.[6]

Tourism and attractions
[edit]
Norway Bay is a popular summer destination with hundreds of cottages and one hotel catering to tourists. Also located here is McLellan Park with a public beach and wharf on the Ottawa River.[15]
During the months of June, July, and August, Norway Bay is considered home to hundreds of families. At the wharf, there are swimming lessons, and at the beach there are kayak and canoe adventures. Norway Bay has grown incredibly the past decade due to the many opportunities it brings to all ages.
