ABOUT US
©Gary and Joanie McGuffin
Marathon is a vibrant community with a "small town" feel and "big city" business opportunities. Fueled by
the Hemlo Gold Mines and a dynamic business sector, Marathon is the largest commercial service centre
between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. It has a population of 3,300 citizens, with approximately 200
businesses, as well as a regional trading population of approximately 15,000 people. In addition,
Marathon is located in the "middle" of Canada, which means it is only a little more than a day's drive from
Southern Ontario, Western Canada or the Midwest United States - and millions of potential customers
and visitors.
Marathon's quality of life is a local trademark and is second to none. Well developed and progressive
health care, social services, recreational, and educational sectors make Marathon an ideal community in
which to locate.
Marathon has a modern hospital and a well-staffed medical clinic. Wilson Memorial General Hospital is an
acute and chronic care hospital offering a number of diverse services. The Marathon Family Practice is a
complete service family medical clinic with a full complement of physicians on staff. It has been
recognized as a leader in the development of rural medicine programs, winning the Family Practice of the
Year Award in 2009 from the Ontario College of Physicians.
In addition, Marathon's modern communications infrastructure, retail shopping sector, abounding
recreational opportunities, and its friendly people make it a genuinely unique community.

MARATHON's HISTORY
As long ago as 500 BC this area was inhabited by Ojibway Natives who lived along the Pic River;
their descendants are still resident there today.
The Marathon of today was born as a railroad community named Peninsula. Peninsula Harbour
was a vital link in the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, being the base of operations for one
of the most difficult and costly sections across Canada. It was chosen by William Van Horne as his main
supply base due to the harbour's depth and protection. Actual work on the railway was begun by the
spring of 1883. By all accounts, Peninsula was a wild and lawless town with 12,000 men, 15,000 horses
and various hangers-on. One writer described it as the “worst place on earth”. All the work on the railway
was done by muscle power - no steam shovels, bulldozers, cranes, or power tools! The rail line joining
Ontario with the prairies was completed in May 1885, following which the population plummeted, and by
the mid-1930's only 28 people lived here.
In 1936, General Timber began logging operations along the Pic River and Lake Superior
shoreline. A timber agreement with the Ontario government stipulated that the cutting rights were
contingent on a pulp mill being built in the area. The turning point came in 1944 with the construction of
the pulp mill. The town's name was changed to Everest, Ontario after D.C. Everest, president of Marathon
Corporation of Wisconsin, owner of the mill. Later that same year the town's name was changed again, to
Marathon, because name Everest was deemed as sounding too close to Everett, Ontario. With the return
of World War 2 veterans, and the resulting baby boom, Marathon became a thriving community again
with a population that stabilized at about 2,400.
In 1981, gold was discovered at Hemlo Ontario, an uninhabited area adjacent to the TransCanada highway some 40 km. east of Marathon. By the late 1980’s, the Hemlo Operations included three
gold mines: Williams, David Bell and Golden Giant. Many of their employees resided in Marathon, which
effectively more than doubled the town's population to a high of 5,500, making it the largest town along
the North Shore of Lake Superior between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. Decommissioning of the
Golden Giant mine in 2005, along with preparation for the eventual closing of the David Bell mine, saw
the gradual reduction of Marathon's population.
2009 marked the beginning of another period of
economic change. Marathon Pulp Inc. announced an
indefinite shutdown of the pulp mill that eliminated over
200 jobs from the region, and negatively impacted both
Marathon's tax base and its local economy. However,
not all changes in 2009 were bad. The Vancouver-based
Teck Cominco mining company sold its 50% share of the
Williams and David Bell mines to its investing partner,
Barrick Gold Corporation. In addition, a new mine is
currently in development; Marathon PGM Corporation
has discovered the largest platinum group metals and
copper resource in Canada just 10 km. north of
Marathon. Stillwater Canada Inc. acquired Marathon
PGM in November of 2010 and an environmental
assessment of the project is underway.

DON'T MISS
Pebble Beach
One of the most panoramic views of Lake Superior!
Turn left at the Museum, then turn right at the 6th paved
intersection (Howe Street), and continue to the end of the
road. The "pebbles" were deposited over 10,000 years
ago; originating in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, they were
brought here by glacial movement. Millennia of weathering
and wave action have given them their present shape.
Pebble Beach stretches for two km. along the coast of
Lake Superior starting at the mill.
“Please do not remove the pebbles from our beach”

History of the Pic
The mouth of the Pic River has been a center of native trade and settlement for thousands of years. It was a strategic
location in the region's water transportation network because it offered access to northern lands and a canoe route to
James Bay. The halfway point for canoers travelling the north shore of Lake Superior, "the Pic" first appeared on
European maps in the mid-seventeenth century. Local natives began to trade furs with the French in the late 1770’s,
prompting a French trader to set up a permanent post here by 1792 The Hudson's Bay Company operated the post
from 1821 until encroaching settlement led to its relocation in 1888. In 1914 the Pic became a reserve of its traditional
inhabitants, the Ojibways of Pic River Number 50 First Nation.

Pukaskwa National Park
The hidden gem of Lake Superior’s north shore,
Pukaskwa will transform even the most seasoned
traveller. Rugged coastlines, serene sunsets, and
dramatic Lake Superior vistas await.
Home to Ontario’s premier wilderness hiking
experience, the Coastal Hiking Trail, the park also
offers car campers unparalleled solitude and privacy at
Hattie Cove Campground. In the Anishnaabe Camp,
visitors can immerse themselves in local aboriginal
culture.
