In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Citizen is rolling out one fact each day for 150 days until July 1, highlighting the odd, the fascinating and the important bits of Ottawa history you might not know about.
Charles Hurdman is the patriarch of the family for whom the Transitway station and nearby park are named. He came to Hull Township from Ireland, by way of New York, in 1818
In 1841 his son William along with brothers Charles and Robert formed W. Hurdman and Brothers, which went on to become a major lumber firm. William and Robert later moved to the Township of Gloucester to expand the company.
Later descendants founded Hurdman Paving Ltd, which had the contract in the 1950s and 1960s to tear up streetcar tracks all over the city.
