Papineau-Cameron is a township municipality in northeastern Ontario, Canada, in Nipissing District. The township is located on the south side of the Mattawa and Ottawa Rivers along Highway 17.
It is most known for its agricultural land, clean environment, pristine lakes, and trails.
History
The Township of Papineau was named after speaker of the house in Lower Canadian Legislature (1815-1837), Louis-Joseph Papineau. While Cameron got its name from Chief Justice Sir Matthew Crooks Cameron, a senior government official.[1]
The townships were first inhabited by natives. Non-native settlers started arriving in the 1830s. Many early immigrants were farmers and lumbermen, whose families would later join them. The Township of Papineau and the Township of Cameron were both incorporated in 1887.[1] Cameron subsequently dropped its council,[2] but was reincorporated as an Improvement District in 1944.[3]
There was a mass migration of Finnish mineworkers to Cameron in 1912. They would settle there and farm the land, leading to further development of the community of Klock.
In 1992, the townships of Papineau and Cameron amalgamated, thus forming the municipal township of Papineau-Cameron.[1]
In 2007, Papineau-Cameron, along with the town of Mattawa and the townships of Bonfield, Mattawan and Calvin cooperated to create a newly branded Mattawa Voyageur Country tourist region in order to promote the area.[4]
Communities
The township includes the communities of Klock, Morel, and Rankin.
