L'Orignal

L'Orignal (/ˌlɒrɪnˈjæl/) is a Franco-Ontarian village and former municipality, now part of Champlain Township in eastern Ontario, Canada. Its population in 2016 was 1,450. L'Orignal likely took its name from its location on the Ottawa River once known as Pointe à l'Orignal (French for "Moose Point"), where moose crossed the river. It was one of the seigneuries of New France.
