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