Ontario Tourism Region : Northcentral Ontario
Description From Owner:
- Pop. 75. In Cochrane Dist. on the Oba and Mattawitchewan Rs. and Algoma Central Railway at the northern tip of the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve, 70 km. SW of Hearst.
- The name is believed to be a contraction of an Ojibwa word for whirlpool. A popular local explanation is that OBA is an acronym for Ontario Bootleggers' Association, since residents from Hornepayne, 45 km. NW, had to come here to buy liquor.
