Nemegos, Ontario

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nemegos was a small community which began in 1902. The residents were a mix of native and european settlers, primarily Finnish people. The post office opened in 1912 by S.A. Hatch. There was a store, hotel, bunkhouses and one room school. Some of the men worked on the nearby Canadian Pacific Railway, however, most were logging contractors, producing axe ties under contract to Austin, Nicholson Ltd. of nearby Chapleau.

Many old cabins line the dirt road, they can be seen to the left and right of the road. While some appear to have been abandoned, judging by the waist high grass, others appear to be seasonal cottages.
