Nemegos is an unincorporated place and community in geographic Halsey Township[1] in the Unorganized North Part of Sudbury District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada.[2] It is on the Nemegosenda River in the James Bay drainage basin, and also is on the Canadian Pacific Railway transcontinental main line,[3] between the railway points of Devon to the west and Tophet to the east.
History
Nemegos was established in the 1890s as a sectional point on the CPR between the divisional points of Chapleau to the west and Cartier to the east.[4][5] The residents were a mix of native and European settlers, primarily Finnish people. The post office was opened in 1912 by S.A. Hatch. There was a store, hotel, bunkhouses and a one-room school. Some of the men worked on the CPR; however, most were logging contractors, producing axe ties under contract to Austin, Nicholson Ltd. of nearby Chapleau.[5]
Transportation
Nemegos railway station is served by the Via Rail Sudbury – White River train.
