A Little History on Temiskaming
|
 |
The recorded history of the area goes back to the early 1600's when both English
and French fur traders were active in the area.
Fort Temiscamingue on Lake Temiskaming was established by the French in 1695.
Missionaries and loggers were active on the lake as early as the 1830's, but
the first permanent settlement was at the present town of Haileybury in 1885.
Several townships were surveyed in 1887, and during the 1890's settler's, most
from "Old Ontario" moved into the agriculture areas of the "
Little Clay Belt" north of New Liskeard.
Settlement was accelerated when the T&NO Railway arrived at Lake Temiskaming
in 1904, but the railway also brought with it the discovery of silver at Cobalt,
resulting in a mining boom, which in subsequent years spread to Elk Lake (1906),
Gowganada and Larder Lake (1907) and in Kirkland Lake in 1911.
