Philemon Wright was the founder of Hull, the first settlement in the Ottawa area that could be called "urban". Migrating from Massachusetts in the winter of 1800, he and his family migrated the shoals of the Lower Canada and Upper Canada bureaucracies, as well as crown agents and Algonquin neighbours.
