Sarsfield, Ontario is a small, rural town in the east portion of the City of Ottawa in the former township of Cumberland. The first residents of Sarsfield were mostly French-Canadians from Lower Canada. In 1854, families began to establish in the Sarsfield region, such as the the Potvin's, the St-Denis', the D'Aoust's, the Lafrance's and the Éthier's. One of these colonizers, Sévère D'Aoust, bought land from the Crown and later gave part of this land for the construction of a Roman Catholic church. The construction of this church had such an impact on the village that it was known as Daoust's Corner.

The village was renamed Sarsfield in 1874 when an Irishman opened a Post-office and gave it the name of an Irish hero: Patrick Sarsfield.

In 2000, the Township of Cumberland was amalgamated to the City of Ottawa.
