About Manotick
Manotick takes its name from an Ojibwe word meaning 'island in the river,' reflecting its location on the Rideau River. The village grew around a flour mill established by Moss Kent Dickinson in 1859, and Watson's Mill survives today as a working museum.
The village maintains its historic character around Dickinson Square, with preserved 19th-century buildings housing boutiques, restaurants, and services. This heritage core is surrounded by newer residential developments that offer modern amenities while respecting the village's established character.
Manotick's high average household income reflects the area's appeal to buyers seeking quality homes in a distinctive setting. This translates to substantial renovation investments and premium expectations for craftsmanship and materials.
