Ompah

 

Ompah is located in the section of the Township which was incorporated in 1870 as the United Townships of Palmerston, North and South Canonto. North Canonto is the northern most part of North Frontenac Township, extending as far as a rural route of Calabogie. Lumbering, farming, mining and maple syrup making were the main industries throughout the 18000s and early 1900s; presently, tourism is the main boost to the economy. The population during the early settlement far exceeded today’s numbers. Palmerston Canonto Conservation Area provides a public beach and facilities.
