Munster, OntarioMunster, Ontario is a quiet village situated south-west of Stittsville, west of Richmond and north of North Gower. The Ottawa Carleton School Board offers an Elementary school named Munster Elementary School. Munster was established as a post office by 1870. It was part of Goulbourn Township. It is now within the City of Ottawa, since January 1, 2000. Munster has the Anglican parish church of St. Stephens, which closed in the 1960's. At that time, Munster was a simple cross-roads village of a handful of houses. In the 1970's, a rural suburb, marketed as Munster Hamlet, added about 400 houses to the community. The church was then re-opened as the Munster branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Munster has a convenience store, a restaurant, and is the site of Saunder's Farm, which has outdoor mazes and a Halloween theme park. Munster is named for Munster, Ireland.
