Pembroke on the Ottawa River 150 kilometers upstream from Ottawa at the confluence of the Muskrat River is the administrative headquarters of Renfrew County though a politically independent city. Pembroke’s population was 16,146 at the 2011 Census, slightly less than in 1971.
Lumbering operations attracted the first European settlers to the area. First named Miramichi, Pembroke became a police village in 1856. The city’s present name honors Sidney Herbert, Earl of Pembroke. Pembroke incorporated as a town in 1878 and as a city in 1971. It became the Renfrew County seat in 1861. In the next 20-year period, the city became the basic city we see today in layout and buildings, although a 1918 fire destroyed much of the downtown. Historic buildings extant in Pembroke are an historic synagogue, two hospitals, the Grey Gables Manor, the Munroe Block, and two White family houses. In 1898 Pembroke became the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pembroke.
Pembroke is the largest commercial center between North Bay and Ottawa. Historically, forestry and farming were the economic mainstays, and they remain important. Lumber, plywood, veneer, fiberboard, and hydro poles are local timber products. Manufacturing produces office furniture. The Petawawa military base and Chalk River Laboratories of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited are also major regional employers. Tourism contributes notably as Pembroke on the Trans-Canada Highway is a base for wilderness adventures white-water rafting on the Petawawa River in the Algonquin Provincial Park.
Thirty colorful murals in the downtown area depict developments and events in the history of the city. Pembroke as a city of murals has more than any other city in Canada.
