Centre Hastings

Centre Hastings has served as a gold-mining centre in Ontario’s Hastings County since the 1860s. Its main community, Madoc, expanded after gold was discovered near Eldorado in 1866, triggering Ontario’s first gold rush and leaving a strong mining legacy in the surrounding countryside. The Moira River passes through the area on its way south toward the Bay of Quinte. O’Hara Mill Homestead and Conservation Area preserves a restored 19th-century water-powered mill, recalling the agricultural and small-scale industries that followed settlement.
