Algoma District is a district and census division in Northeastern Ontario in the Canadian province of Ontario. Algoma was created by proclamation in 1858〔Proclamation to take effect 1 May 1858, ''Canada Gazette'' (April 17, 1858), p. 676-677. New Proclamation to take effect 1 Oct 1859, ''Canada Gazette'' (Sept 10, 1859), p. 2226.〕 as a provisional judicial district of the Province of Canada comprising territory north of the French River as far west as Pigeon River (Minnesota-Ontario), including all Canadian islands in Lakes Huron and Superior. The authorizing act of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada was ''An Act to provide for the Administration of Justice in the unorganized Tracts of Country within the limits of this Province'' (known by its short title as ''The Temporary Judicial Districts Act, 1857)''. The district seat has been Sault Ste. Marie since 1858. As the population grew and the northern and northwestern boundaries of Ontario were determined by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, Algoma shrank. Other districts were created from it by the provincial government of Ontario: *Thunder Bay District in 1871 *Manitoulin District in 1888 *Sudbury District in 1894 *Timiskaming District in 1912 The rugged scenery of this region has inspired works by Canadian artists, particularly the Group of Seven. They rented a boxcar from the Algoma Central Railway to travel on excursions through this region. ==Subdivisions== Communities within these subdivisions are added in parentheses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Algoma District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
