In 1903, when labourer Fred Larose reportedly dropped his pick on a pool of silver, Cobalt was a wilderness. Seven years later, 10,000 people lived in a hastily constructed town. By 1930, $265 million worth of the metal had been extracted from some 30 mines. The development of the region was rapid, feverish, disorganized. In less than twenty years, the town died out. Today, Cobalt is recognized as "Ontario's most historic town" and is designated a National Historic Site. To learn about its mining past, visit the Cobalt Mining Museum, open summer and winter.
