Killaloe |
A Hamlet named Fort MacDonnel began to be called Killaloe Station as early as 1894 when The Ottawa, Arnprior, Parry Sound Railway forged it's way through the area. That railway was part of the empire of Lumber Baron J. R. Booth. ![]() The Village of Killaloe Station was incorporated in 1908, about a mile north of another location now known as "Old Killaloe". The last passenger train rolled into the station in 1962, and six years later the train station was torn down. Killaloe Station changed it's official name to Killaloe in 1988, and Station Park was built on the former rail site in 1994. The covered bridge at Station Park is a well known area landmark. |
