@shleyNewall Interestingly it seems Prescott had the balance of advantages initially, before the railway linked them. See discussion here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o… But by the late 1860s I'd think it went the other way given Ottawa's new (federal) government infrastructure and related growth.
@shleyNewall Thanks, makes sense they would reside in Ottawa at the time, given its comparative importance and size.
