Nemegos

In 1885 the Canadian Pacific Railway built a line to western Canada and traversed the one of the loneliest stretch of land, northern Ontario. Between the two divisional points of Cartier and Chapleau, section villages were established at every 20 or so miles. One section village, established around the 1890s, was named Nemegos after nearby Lake Nemegosenda. The site contained a siding, water tower, station, and a few section homes and about 20 residents.
