Timmins

Gold town on the Mattagami

Timmins in brief

Timmins sits on the Mattagami River in northeastern Ontario, a service hub built on gold, base metals, and lumber. Shield Archaic peoples left traces here at least 6,500 years ago; Cree and Ojibwe nations lived in the region when French explorers arrived in the late 1600s.

Mining still anchors the economy. Atlas Obscura points visitors toward a nearby pool of water dated at roughly two billion years old, a deep-time oddity beside a twentieth-century gold rush city.
