Nipissing District

Nipissing District spans 17,103 square kilometers of land, containing North Bay as its capital city and numerous municipalities across northeastern Ontario territory.

The district emerged in 1858 and later contributed portions of its territory to form Timiskaming District in 1912 while maintaining its administrative structure.

First Nation reserves Bear Island 1 and Nipissing 10 within the district preserve indigenous heritage alongside European settlement communities.

Local service boards manage unincorporated regions such as Redbridge, Thorne, and Tilden Lake, ensuring essential services reach all district residents.

The district maintains both organized municipalities and unorganized territories, creating a complex administrative system with varying governance levels.
