Grenville is a borough of the municipality of Grenville-sur-la-Rouge in Quebec, Canada, located on the left bank of the Ottawa River. ==History== Prior to April 24, 2002 it was an independent township municipality. On that date it merged with the village municipality of Calumet to form a new municipality which took the name Grenville-sur-la-Rouge,〔http://www.stat.gouv.qc.ca/publications/referenc/pdf/modavr02.pdf〕 and each of the two components became boroughs of the new municipality. The village municipality that shares the name "Grenville" remained independent; it borders on Grenville-sur-la-Rouge but is not part of it. The name "Grenville" comes from William Wyndham Grenville, a British statesman who served briefly as British prime minister (1806–1807). While Canada was still under British rule, a canal was built by the military to bypass a series of rapids in the Ottawa River. The canal and the settlement that arose in the region were named in Lord Grenville's honour.
