Brief History Formerly a C.P.R. flag-stop called Black, Ontario, Terrace Bay has been developed by the LongLac Pulp and Paper Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark Corporation of Neenah, Wisconsin. Prior to the commencement of actual construction in the spring of 1946, preliminary survey work was conducted through the fall and winter of 1945 and 46. Development work in 1946 consisted of building what is now known as the "Lower Camp" and starting construction of the Townsite. The Pulp Storage pbuilding at the Millsite was also constructed and other work done in preparation for the "hig push" in 1947-48, Early in 1947, general contractors commenced work on the mill after completing a 1000-man camp at the millsite to house additional construction employees. By November 1948 the mill produced its first pulp following a con- struction period during which upwards of 2000 people were employed. Paralleling mill construction was the development of the Townsite. z Townsite With its curved streets, modern homes and community facilities, the Townsite is beautifully located south of the C.P.R. line more than a mile away from the mill, A rigid program of tree conservation has resulted in a park-like atmosphere which normally takes years to ereate when general construction practices are followed, Referred to as a "holiday greeting card town" by tho editor of "Pulp and Paper", the production and management journal of the North American
