Ottawa's Friendly Neighborhood : Gatineau, Quebec - Part 2 

#OldHull #PortageursPark #LavalStreet
Although formally and administratively separate cities in two separate provinces, Ottawa and Gatineau (along with a number of nearby municipalities) collectively constitute the National Capital Region, which is considered a single metropolitan area.
Gatineau is known for tourist life and many parks. Located in the beautiful Outaouais region, Gatineau is known as one of the three tourist gateways to Quebec.
The original settlement was called Wrightstown, and was later renamed as Hull. In 2002, after amalgamation, it was part of a larger jurisdiction named the City of Gatineau. The city derives its name from the river, which itself was named for Nicolas Gatineau, a fur trader who reportedly drowned in its waters about 1683.
