| Montague |
| Kilmarnock: A village on a Rideau Canal. |
| Nolans Corners: Could have been Comries Corners in the Historical Atlas of Lanark County. |
| Numogate: Shows in the Historical Atlas of Lanark County. |
| Rosedale: Seems to have undergone a name change since the publishing of the Historical Atlas of Lanark County in which the name Roseville appears. In 1827 it may have been called the Rose settlement. |
| Smiths
Falls: Was land granted in 1784 to Major Thomas Smyth, a British officer and veteran of the American revolutionary war. He took possession in 1823. By 1827 it was known as Wardsville after Abel Russell Ward who purchased the land. A road was built from here to the Bytown (Ottawa) road by the surveyor for the Rideau Canal. A road to Perth was also made and another linking it to the road to Brockville. The first store was opened in 1828. The land was surveyed for a townsite in 1829. |
