Iroquois Falls

Few cities in northeastern Ontario have a history as closely tied to the Abitibi River’s hydropower and pulp-and-paper industry as Iroquois Falls. Developed in the early 20th century as a company town, it grew around a paper mill and generating works that used the river’s power, placing industry at the centre of local life. Boreal forest, lakes and waterways define the wider Cochrane District, while Timmins lies to the southwest. That industrial foundation remains an important part of the community’s identity as northern Ontario’s resource economy changes.
