History:
This port of call has been a popular destination since the
mid 1700's with French fur traders and Indians. The first
permanent settler, John Batiste Flemmond, built a 2 room log
cabin here back in 1805.It's name was generated from a French
word that described the appearance of the Native American
Indians in the area. A combination of the French words meaning
"Boar and Man". Some of the early year industries were
fishing, shipbuilding and ice harvesting. In 1988 the vessel
GOLDEN AGE was built here, being one of the largest from the
area. With the addition of railways Huron played a key part in
marine commerce.
