Etymology
[edit]Situated on a tributary of the South River, in Parry Sound District, 37 kilometres (23 mi) south of North Bay, this town (1913) was first known as Little Bend of the South River and Powassan as the Big Bend. It was called Melbourne after the pioneer settlers arrived in 1868, possibly for Melbourne, Australia, itself named in 1835 for Lord Melbourne (1779–1848), the British prime minister in 1834-41. However, its post office was called Barkerton in 1887. Three years later it was renamed Trout Creek.[4]
Demographics
[edit]In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Trout Creek had a population of 458 living in 207 of its 216 total private dwellings, a change of -14.9% from its 2016 population of 538. With a land area of 3.13 km2 (1.21 sq mi), it had a population density of 146.3/km2 (379.0/sq mi) in 2021.[5]
Transport

In the early 20th century, the Ferguson Road, later becoming Ontario Highway 11 was constructed on a roughly parallel course to the rail line. Ontario Highway 11 was rerouted around the community in 2002 following its expansion to a four-lane divided highway, with Ontario Highway 522 assuming its former alignment south out of the community reaching its terminus at McFadden Line and Interchange 301, and the former northern alignment became Ontario Highway 522B reaching its terminus at Hemlock Road and Interchange 306.
