| North Bay Business Directory - North Bay, Ontario Facts North Bay's Population is 70,000. More than half of the North Bay area businesses that employ workers are defined as small business. The bilingual population is almost three times higher than the provincial average. Stats Canada History "In 1882, the train reached the north bay of Nipissing, the area we now call "North Bay". On the train, a passenger by the name of John Ferguson, disembarked, looked around, and decided that the area held promise.
He constructed a log cabin, became the first postmaster for the area, and purchased 288 acres of the land which now makes up North Bay's downtown core. Within a year, John Ferguson had brought his new bride to the area and began to have a large framed home constructed in what was the central area to North Bay." City of North Bay Location North Bay is situated at the junctions of Highway 11 and the TransCanada Highway 17, at the strategic center of the province geographically, and at the junction of three railroads allowing it to boast "North Bay - Gateway to the North". The city is situated on the shore of Lake Nipissing. Take a tour of the waterfront! View from the shore or view from the dock.
