Haileybury, with apopulation of 4820 (3), located on the shores of Lake Timiskaming, became a supply centre for theCobalt silver boom of the early twentieth century. It is the judicial centre for the District ofTimiskaming .New Liskeard (population 5286) is located on Wabi Bay at the head of Lake Timiskaming,and is an important service centre for the farming community . The research farm and the Collegeof Agricultural Technology of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food are located here, aswell as the office of the agricultural representative for the region.Cobalt (population 1640) was once a booming silver mining town, but has had a verysignificant drop in population since that time, due to mine closures .Englehart (population 1740) is located near the northern limits of the map sheet, and is animportant service centre for the farming community in the area .Table 1.YearTrends in population of theTotalTimiskaming District (1, 3)Rural1931 25,417 8,3821951 50,016 8,0001986 40,307 2,186A large area of the Timiskaming District lies outside of this map sheet area, including asmall extension of the clay belt . Thus, the census data quoted in this report applies to the politicalboundaries of the Timiskaming District.
