Nipissing, Ontario

Nipissing is an incorporated (political) township in Parry Sound District in Central Ontario, Canada.〔 It is on Lake Nipissing and is part of the Almaguin Highlands region. Nipissing was surveyed between 1874 and 1881, and was incorporated in 1888. Among the first settlers in the area were the Chapman and Beatty families. Nipissing Township annexed Gurd Township in 1970. The township also contains a community named Nipissing, which is located on the South River near Chapman's Landing, on the South Bay of Lake Nipissing.
The township includes the communities of Alsace, Christian Valley, Commanda, Hotham, Nipissing and Wade's Landing.
==History==
The founder of Nipissing, John Beattie (John Beatty) arrived by canoe from [Eganville, Ontario) in 1862. He was looking for land suitable for settlement. To lay claim to the property, he made brush piles, and was granted free land by the Ontario Government. Around 1869 James Chapman and his wife, Phoebe Edwards, built their first house and barn at the top of the chutes. The family farmed and he carried the mail by canoe, dog team and later horse on a route stretching between the villages of Magnetawan and Mattawa.
The Chapman Valley and Chapman Township near Magnetawan are named after the family. James and Phoebe are among the pioneers buried in the Nipissing village cemetery. More details about the pioneer families can be found in the Nipissing Township Museum. An Ontario Historical Plaque was erected at the Nipissing Township Museum by the province to commemorate the Rosseau-Nipissing Road's role in Ontario's heritage.〔[http://www.ontarioplaques.com/Plaques_PQR/Plaque_Parry10.html Ontario Plaque]〕
Originally supplies were brought into Nipissing from Pembroke by canoe over the Champlain Trail and up the South River. Nipissing village became the main route for shipping supplies. The township and the life of the village as a key port began to fade.
The Chapman family donated the land to the municipal government, and the landing became a municipal boat launch, public dock and swimming hole for village children.
Around 1875 a colonization road was completed which connected tiny Nipissing village to Rosseau (near Huntsville) in the south and this created road travel and another route for shipment of supplies. Furthermore, in 1886 a railway connected Gravenhurst to Callander, cutting out Nipissing village from its main route and the life of the village as a key port began to fade. Today the landing is the municipal boat launch, public dock and favourite swimming hole for village children.
The Chapman family still has many connections to the local area.
