Carleton Place (2004 population 9,400) is a town in eastern Ontario, Canada, in the County of Lanark.
Carleton Place, originally known as Morphy's Falls, was chosen as a mill site by Edmond Morphy in 1819. It is located on the Mississippi River, a tributary of the Ottawa River. It became a village in 1870, and a town in 1890.
Both textile and lumber mills flourished here, but none are still operating. Today, the remaining mill buildings house condominiums and "high-tech" industry.
