Jerome Mine, Ontario

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jerome Mine was a shortlived mining community in the Canadian province of Ontario, located on Lake Opeepeesway in the Sudbury District.

Established in 1937 to house gold mine workers, the community had a population of 150 at its peak but was abandoned by 1945 after the mine ceased operations. The nearby community of Ramsey, also established as a company town for workers in the same mine, survived until 1988 as a lumber town.

The townsite is accessible via the Sultan Industrial Road.
