Description From Owner:

Pop. 3,600. Part of the City of Sudbury, Reg. Mun. of Sudbury, on Hwy 17, 11 km SW of Sudbury.
The site of Copper Cliff was named in 1771 by Arctic explorer Samuel Hearne because of rich copper deposits found in the area's cliffs.
. In 1884 prospector Tom Frood found a copper ore body, and in 1886 the first mine was established by Samuel J. Ritchie, owner of the Canadian Copper Company.
When a high nickel content was discovered in the copper, Ritchie built a nickel smelter at Copper Cliff in 1888.
In 1902 the Canadian Copper Company merged with the Orford Copper and Nickel Company of New Jersey to form International Nickel Company.
In 1970 the company built the highest smokestack the world; at 1,250 feet (381 m) it is as tall as the Empire State Building.
