  • 5.4 Pembroke Area History
    OTTAWA RIVER COMMUNITY HERITAGE 221 5.4 Pembroke Area History Pembroke Heritage Designation Sub‐Committee, led by Marian Patterson Geology Over one half million years ago, the country stretching from Fitzroy Township (known as the Upper Ottawa Valley) was covered by the sea. As the last ice age receded, a long, wide (and in some places, extremely deep) trench was left. The land exposed was rich in minerals, and is well known to mineral collectors. Minerals found in the region include corundum, hematite, magnetite, radioactive minerals, chalcopyrite, graphite, rose quartz, garnet, mica, molybdenote, galena, selenite, tourmaline, brucite, sphalerite, feldspar (including amazonite), apatite, fluorspar, nepheline, zircon, beryl, pyrite, tremolite and celestite. European settlers in the area quarried limestone, sandstone and feldspar. Many of the fine, older homes are made of locally quarried limestone. The closest lime kilns (for making mortar) were located on Allumette Island, just opposite Morrisonʹs Island. The bricks were made locally from the many deposits of clay found along the banks of the Muskrat, Indian and Ottawa Rivers. Pembrokeʹs City Hall is built from beautiful red sandstone that was quarried on Beckettʹs Island in the 1880s. These minerals were brought to the Pembroke area by boat. In the case of the feldspar, a short boat ride across Hazleyʹs Bay to the railroad spur was all that was needed. The Fur Trade In 1613 Champlain and his party paddled up the Ottawa River and traveled overland to the foot of Muskrat Lake. They paddled up the lake and walked across to the shore of Lower Allumette Lake, where they met Chief Tessoüat, who had a lookout at the foot of Morrisonʹs Island.
