Once the townships surrounding the head of Lake Temiskaming were opened up, settlers arrived by steamboat in ?excursions? organized by the Ontario government. Many decided to claim a lot and a few more actually stayed or returned to homestead. Eventually, the agricultural belt became widely known as the Northern Claybelt.
