Ottawa, Ontario is in Carleton County. However, just to add to the confusion, at one time, (in the 1800's) Hull, Quebec was in Ottawa, County, Quebec. Around the turn of the century, Ottawa County Quebec was divided into Labelle & Wright Counties.

As the capital of Canada Ottawa is similar to Washington DC. For more information about the workings of the city see the following website <http://www.ottawa.ca/> A more general description may be found at<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa> References to Gatineau in this Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia piece are the same as references to HULL. Gatineau is the name of the amalgamated cities of Aylmer, Hull, Gatineau, Buckingham and Masson-Angers. There is a link to this historical fact in the Wikipedia article. To further confuse you and to add precision to your question about the county in which Ottawa is located consult the Wikipedia article at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Municipality_of_Ottawa-Carleton> which states that "The Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton was a regional government area and census division in Ontario, Canada which existed from 1969 until 2001. It was created in 1969 from the former Carleton County plus Cumberland Township, previously part of Russell County."

Now, what county is Ottawa in? We have found a marriage that referenced the birth place as Ottawa, Canada, and I've found a Wikipedia reference to Hull that places it either very close or in what is now Ottawa.
