Area Information
Location:
The Town of Spanish is located on the TransCanada, between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie and is also situated on beautiful Lake Huron.
There are many stories of how the Town of Spanish earned its name. Some say that Spanish got its name from all the Spaniards who worked on the railway while others say Spanish got its name because some Spaniards had camped at the mouth of the river.
1902: Railway station is built, the village's focus shifts to becoming a small service centre for the Canadian Pacific Railway instead of a lumber village. 1922: A telephone exchange was installed in the Post Office. 1951: Spanish receives electricity. Wikipedia
