Haileybury Ontario 

Haileybury was established in 1889 by Charles C. Farr, who had come to the area six years earlier as an employee of Hudson’s Bay Company. Farr named the community after his English alma mater, Haileybury College. The town was incorporated in 1904 and amalgamated with the town of New Liskeard and Dymond Township to create the city of Temiskaming Shores in 2004.

Haileybury is located on the northwestern shore of Lake Timiskaming and developed as a residential, commercial and service center for the whole area due to its readily accessible port facilities on Lake Timiskaming and its proximity to the silver mines of Cobalt and to the agricultural region known as Little Clay Belt. The town is famous for its devastation by several forest fires, most notably the Great Fire of 1922 that dispossessed more than 2,900 people. Nevertheless, over the 20th century, the town maintained and strengthened its role as a commercial hub for the flow of goods.
