Ghost towns
Possibly the community in which your ancestor was raised is no longer in existance. Townsites often grew up close to mining operations - when the ore ran out, the towns were usually demolished or abandonded. I am interested in these old communites; if you have any knowledge about such sites within the Sudbury District, I would be interested in hearing about them and any historical knowledge you may posses about them.
Victoria Mines -this townsite was located at the site of the Mond Nickel Co. refinery about 3 kilometres south of Victoria Mine, West of Sudbury
Mond - the townsite at Victoria Mine itself which was operated by the Mond Nickel Company
(The refinery and roast yard were moved to Coniston in 1912. The mine itself closed in 1936.)
Creighton - an INCO townsite, demolished in 1989 Creighton Mine is currently the site of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory.
Murphy - INCO? roast yard
Frood Mine - INCO townsite, demolished in 19..?
Happy Valley - Falconbridge Nickel Co., east of Falconbridge townsite.
Many of the communities within the Sudbury District were founded around the mining industry. The International Nickel Co. (INCO), often built, and rented, housing to its' employees. The City of Sudbury itself, was a center for the Canadian Pacific Railway, lumbering and mining before the turn of the century.
