Piperville
Piperville is a small rural community in Osgoode Ward in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, about 4 kilometres southwest of Carlsbad Springs and 16 kilometres southeast of Downtown Ottawa. History Piperville was originally marshland, with what is now Russell road having been used as a trail for Algonquins on their way north to bring goods into Ottawa. The swamp was partially drained in the early 1880s by the Canada Atlantic Railway Company to make land usable for pastures. A train station opened in 1901 and closed in 1957. Its opening significantly increased Piperville’s population. However, the area was impoverished, largely due to low crop yields as a result of poor soil quality. Imperfect drainage of the swamp resulted in formations of leda clay deposits. The poor quality gleyed melanic brunisol soil, in combination with inflated land prices due to its proximity to Ottawa as well as its railway connections to New York and Montreal, resulted in the impoverishment of most of Piper ...
