City named timmins in Canada how did it get its name?

Timmins, a city in Ontario, Canada, was named after a prominent mining engineer, George Timmins, who was instrumental in the development of the area during the early 20th century. The city was established in 1912 during the gold rush, and its name reflects the influence of the mining industry and the individuals who contributed to its growth. The name was officially adopted in 1913, and Timmins quickly became known as a hub for mining and forestry.


How old is the city of Toronto Canada?

Human habitation in the area we now know as Timmins dates back 9,000 years. A major First Nations trail ran nearby. In 1907, the Timmins area was being touted as having gold mining potential. By October, 1909, several mining claims had been staked. Soon mines were being developed and, by early 1911, the Ontario Government Railway had been extended to within six miles. However, two disastrous fires that year caused the destruction of all buildings. In order to facilitate reconstruction, the mines erected two sawmills, which turned out all the lumber used in rebuilding. To provide living facilities for the families of of the miners, a quarter section of land was acquired and laid out as a townsite. When development began, the community was named after Noah Timmins, a prominent miner. Timmins was incorporated as a town on January 1, 1912. In 1973, the town and several neighbouring communities were amalgamated into the City of Timmins. At 3,200 km² (1,240 mi²), the City of Timmins became the largest City in Canada. The City of Timmins held that distinction for over 20 years.
