The "Outaouais Regional Community" (ORC) created on January 1, 1970 by and Act of 1969 of the Assemblée législative du Québec and whose name was changed to "Communauté régionale de l'Outaouais" (CRO) in 1983 and to "Communauté urbaine de l'Outaouais" (CUO) in 1986, ceased to exist on January 1, 2002 with the creation of the new city of Gatineau. 6, record 1, English, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20l%27Outaouais

On January 1, 2002, the towns and cities which were grouped, since January 1, 1970, under the Communauté urbaine de l'Outaouais (CUO), sometimes called "the Greater Hull," became one city. The new city of Gatineau comes from the merger of the town of Aylmer, the cities of Buckingham, Gatineau, Hull and the town of Masson-Angers. 6, record 1, English, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20l%27Outaouais

Hull was the centre-city of the CUO but the name "Gatineau" had been chosen for the new city, the names of the previous towns and cities becoming names of "sectors." The municipal administration of the new city works from the Maison du Citoyen, the city hall of the previous City of Hull. 6, record 1, English, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20l%27Outaouais
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 4 OBS
After 1983, no English name was official for the urban community; consequently "Outaouais Urban Community" has never been the name of the administrative body. Moreover, "Outaouais" being the name of the provincial Administrative Region no. 7, it has never been translated; consequently, "Ottawa Urban Community" (OUC) is incorrect. The only instance in which the French "Outaouais" has "Ottawa" as equivalent in English, is in the name of the "rivière des Outaouais - Ottawa River", "Outaouais - Ottawa" being the name of the Algonquian people (and the name of their Ojibwa language) established in the area at the time of the first settlements. 6, record 1, English, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20l%27Outaouais
