Hornepayne
This small township in Northern Ontario's Algoma District sits beside water and claims a geographic curiosity: it is the closest settlement to the exact centre of Ontario, a point that falls in a remote bog to the north. Established in 1915 as Fitzback when the Canadian Northern Railway pushed its transcontinental line through the area, the town was renamed in 1920 after British financier Robert Horne-Payne.
