Algoma District, Administrative district in Ontario, Canada
The Algoma District spans across 48,814 square kilometers of northeastern Ontario, containing numerous lakes, forests, and the major city of Sault Ste Marie.
The district was established in 1858 as a provisional judicial territory, encompassing all Canadian islands in Lakes Huron and Superior north of French River.
The name Algoma combines Algonquin linguistic elements, where 'Al' references the Algonquin people and 'goma' relates to bodies of water.
The region maintains international border crossings to Michigan at Sault Ste Marie, connecting Canadian and American transportation networks across the Great Lakes.
The district contains extensive shorelines along both Lake Superior and Lake Huron, supporting diverse ecological systems and water-based economic activities.
