Blind River

Blind River is a town arranged on the North Channel of Lake Huron in the Algoma District, Ontario, Canada. The town, named after the close-by Blind River, praised its centennial in 2006. French pioneers found the North Channel and made it an eminent voyageur course. Hide merchants, lumberjacks and excavators pursued to look for normal assets. A hide exchanging post was built up by the North West Company in 1789 at the mouth of the Mississagi River. At the point when the hide exchange impeded around 1820, the Hudson's Bay Company acquired the North West Company.

Various trappers settled along the streams streaming into Lake Huron. One of these waterways, only three miles 5 km east of the Mississagi mouth, was called Penewobecong, which means "smooth shake or inclining". The voyageurs named this waterway the Blind River on the grounds that the mouth was not noticeable along the kayak course. The name Blind River was received by the settlement that developed at the mouth of the stream. The logging business created due to the availability of timber along the Blind River and Mississagi watersheds. The business was impelled by a copper disclosure in the mid-nineteenth century in Bruce Mines. The main sawmill was worked next to the mouth of the Blind River at the momentum site of the Old Mill Motel.
