Brent, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brent is a community on Cedar Lake in northern Algonquin Park. Brent is located in Southern Unorganized Nipissing in Nipissing District in northeastern Ontario.
It was originally a station and divisional point on the main line of the Canadian Northern Railway, and was named for Brentwood, England, the home of Robert M. Horne-Payne, a director of the Canadian Northern. During the late 19th and early 20th century, a number of lumber companies operated at Brent. The Brent crater is located north of the village. It is now basically a recreation area and access point to the interior of Algonquin Park, with no permanent population.
