"The City of Sudbury Ontario (population 92,884) is part of the Regional Municipality of Sudbury. It began in the 1880s (as a small railroad junction), and timber was the main industry. Copper and nickel were discovered during railway construction, and prospectors flooded in from all over the world. The first copper smelter opened in 1880.

When Sudbury Ontario was incorporated as a town in 1893, it had a population of about 1,000. By the time it became a city, in 1930, there were 18,000 residents." Ontario GenWeb

"Today Sudbury is Canada's largest mining and metal smelting and refining centre. There are 17 mines in the vicinity. The Sudbury Basin, formed by a fallen meteor, provides about 16 per cent of the world's nickel, as well as significant amounts of copper and platinum metals.

Sudbury is the commercial centre of Northeastern Ontario. It is also the home of Laurentian University, a science museum, and many excellent tourist and recreational facilities." Found Locally
