About Longlac
Longlac is part of the amalgamated Municipality of Greenstone, which covers about 3200 km², stretching along Highway 11 185 km from end to end. Greenstone, which was formed in 2001 by the amalgamation of a group of remote mining and forestry communities on the Canadian Shield. Greenstone (population about 4600 in 2016) includes the communities of Beardmore, Caramat, Geraldton, Jellicoe, Longlac, Macdiarmid, Nakina and Orient Bay. The region’s recorded history began with the fur trade in the 18th century. The Geological Survey of Canada noted gold in quartz fragments around Little Long Lac in 1917. In 1921 the Hudson’s Bay Co. post moved across the lake to the railway at Calong, near the centre of today’s town. By 1934, a gold rush absorbed the area from Long Lac to Nipigon, a belt 100 km
