Clarence-Rockland is a city in Eastern Ontario, Canada, in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell on the Ottawa River. Clarence-Rockland, located immediately to the east of Ottawa, was formed on January 1, 1998, through the amalgamation of the Town of Rockland with Clarence Township.[1]

The geographic Township of Clarence was established in 1798 and named after Prince William Henry, Duke of Clarence.[2] Communities were established in the township since the early 1840s.[3] In July 1853, the Township Municipality of Clarence was created when it separated from the United Township of Russell, Cambridge and Clarence.[4] Rockland was incorporated as a town in 1908.[5]
