North Bay

North Bay extends along the shores of Lake Nipissing, connecting three major railway lines at an elevation of 197 meters above sea level.

The city formed around railway development in 1891 when it became the southern terminus of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway system.

The discovery of the Dionne Quintuplets in 1934 near North Bay transformed the region into a major tourist destination for several decades.

The North Bay airport maintains regular connections to Toronto, serving over 50,000 residents and functioning as a vital transportation hub for Northern Ontario.

The Canadian NORAD Complex operates from an underground military facility carved into the granite rock beneath the city since 1963.
