West Nipissing, Single-tier municipality in Nipissing District, Ontario, Canada
West Nipissing is a single-tier municipality in Nipissing District, Ontario, that encompasses lakes, forests, and several communities such as Sturgeon Falls, Cache Bay, Garden Village, Crystal Falls, and Verner. The landscape features waterways and a mix of rural settlements set among natural surroundings.
This municipality was established on January 1, 1999, through the merger of seventeen and a half former towns, villages, townships, and unorganized communities in Ontario. This major consolidation created the region's present administrative structure.
The N'Biissing Anishinabek people have deep roots here, and the Nipissing First Nation continues to shape the area's heritage and identity. Their presence is woven into the local names, customs, and everyday life of the region.
Municipal services are centered in Sturgeon Falls, where the administration building is located and can be reached by phone. This is the main hub for visitor information and local services throughout the region.
A historic trading post called Fort La Ronde once operated on a Lake Nipissing island and served as a key commerce hub for indigenous peoples in the late 1700s. This remote outpost became an important link in the region's fur trade network.
