1802
The first canal connecting lakes Superior and Huron is completed. A
replica of this “bateau lock” is currently located north of the Algoma
Conservatory of Music building.
1798
A trading post is established by the Northwest Company. The site
consisted of Chief Factor’s house, a powder magazine, a barrack and
storage houses for furs bound for Montreal.
On the south side of the lock, a water-power sawmill with two
saws was constructed. Government records show that 14 men
were employed directly by the Northwest Company that year.
During the war of 1812, an armed force of 150 United States soldiers
attacked Sault Ste. Marie, destroying all buildings and structures,
including the locks. A particularly serious loss was the destruction of
the sawmill, the only one in the entire North West.
1814
1783
Etienne Brule arrives in the Sault. This initiates contact
between Indigenous peoples in Sault Ste. Marie and
European newcomers. Over the years, this will result in
the introduction of new clothes, objects, foods, diseases,
social practices, religions and languages, as well as the
displacement of Indigenous communities and
repurposing of the land. The French refer to the
Indigenous communities and repurposing of the land. The French refer to the Indigenous
peoples living in this area as “Saulteurs,” or “People of the Falls.”

1895
Francis H. Clergue arrives in the Sault by steamship. He establishes the
Lake Superior Power Company and the Sault Ste. Marie Pulp and Paper
Company Limited. He adds a wooden upper story to the old North
West Company blockhouse and spends the majority of his time there.
1894
The Northwest Company constructs the lower stone story
of the Blockhouse for use as powder magazine. In 1895,
Francis H. Clergue adds the second story in order to convert
it from a powder magazine to living accommodations. It is
currently the second oldest stone building northwest of
Toronto.
Sault Ste. Marie Pulp & Paper Company incorporated as subsidiary of
the Lake Superior Power Company as a condition of a timber grant
obtained by Clergue in 1894; grounded pulp mill built a special “dry”
pulp machinery invented and installed; machinery produced by Algoma
Iron Works, a branch of the pulp and paper company.
Intimidated by the potential competition offered
by the Sault mill, Clergue’s competitors cut their
prices by 25% in an attempt to force him out of
business. Clergue fought back by producing a
superior product: pulp with reduced water
content. Clergue and his engineering department
developed a machine to extract much of the water
content making it lighter and less costly to ship.
When none of the existing paper machine
manufactures would produce the machinery to his
specifications, he erected his own machine shop and foundry to create the machines he
needed. These two operations produced all of the machinery used in the pulp mill.
1899
1819
THE HISTORIC MACHINE SHOP
The Pulp Company was forced to close its doors following
the collapse of the Clergue industrial empire in September
of 1903. It remained close for a number of months and in
receivership until 1905. Following restructuring of the
Clergue industries in 1904, the Allied Companies become
part of a new parent company, The Lake Superior
Corporation. In 1911 the Lake Superior corporation
decided to concentrate on its iron, steel and
transportation activities and took steps to dispose of its
holdings in other areas including the Sault Ste. Marie Pulp
and Paper Company. In February 1911, a new company was formed, the Lake Superior
Paper Company Ltd. The Lake Superior Paper Company began construction of the area’s
first newsprint paper machines in 1911. By the following summer PM1 and PM2 were
commissioned. By the end of 1913, PM3 and PM4 were also operational.
1984
In 1917, the Lake Superior Paper Company amalgamated
with the Spanish River Pulp & Paper Mills. They operated the
mill until the Abitibi Power and Paper Company purchased it
in 1928. Abitibi introduced the production of directory and
catalog specialty papers, along with newsprint. In the
following half century, the mill solidified its position as a
major paper producer in Canada.
1928
1911
THE HISTORIC MACHINE SHOP
In 1984, a change in ownership and product occurred. Dan Alexander, and American
investor purchased the mill from Abitibi renaming it St. Mary’s Paper Inc. Modifications to
PM3 and PM4 and the installation of two Supercalenders made the production of SCB
grades possible. In 1988, the construction of a new paper machine, PM5 was completed,
giving the mill the capacity of producing SCA grades. In addition, new Tampella grinders
were also installed to meet the increase demand for pulp.
