About Navan

Navan was first settled in the early 1800s and named by Michael O'Meara after his hometown of Navan in County Meath, Ireland. The village grew as part of Cumberland Township, benefiting from a railway station on Smith Road that operated from 1898 to 1974. The former rail corridor has since been converted to a recreational trail.

The Navan Fair has been an annual tradition since 1946, featuring midway rides, live music, demolition derbies, and agricultural exhibitions. This fair reflects the community's strong agricultural heritage and serves as a gathering point for rural east Ottawa.

Today, Navan offers country living with reasonable access to Orléans and downtown Ottawa. OC Transpo Route 228 provides transit service connecting Navan and Sarsfield to Blair Station, making commuting more accessible for rural residents.

Location & Boundaries

Navan is located southeast of Orléans at the intersection of Colonial Road (Ottawa Road 28) and Trim Road. The village was part of Cumberland Township before amalgamation. It is bounded by Orléans to the northwest, Sarsfield to the east, and Carlsbad Springs to the south.
