and Balsam Creek are the recognized names
of the communities that reside on highway
63 and make up most of the population that
makes up Phelps township.
Phelps township is a unincorporated township
within the Nipissing Temiskaming electoral
district. In place of a mayor and municipal
government there are volunteer groups that
organize and coordinate activities.
Public elections are held yearly for the
five main volunteer boards that give governance.
Police services are conducted for the township
by the (O.P.P.) Ontario Provincial Police.
Before 1892, Redbridge and this region was
part of the electoral district of Renfrew
North. It initially consisted of the temporary
judicial district of Nipissing, and the
townships of Head, Clara and Maria in the
county of Renfrew, and a part of the district
of Algoma.
This entire area was redefined to consist
of sixty four different townships and a
broad swath of northeastern Ontario between
Georgian Bay and Hudson Bay/James Bay. Included
in this redefinition of the district area
was the creation of Phelps Township.
By 1894, the Nipissing District consisted
of Widdefield, Ferris, Bonfield, Phelps,
Mulock, Merrick and Blyth. Phelps Township
is now one of the townships that make up
Nipissing District.
Nipissing was a federal electoral district
that was represented in the Canadian House
of Commons from 1896 to 2004. It was located
in the northeastern part of Ontario, Canada.
When it was first created, the riding took
in the eastern half of Northeastern Ontario,
including the towns of North Bay and Sudbury.
In 2004 the riding was reformed by the amalgamation
of the former Nipissing riding with the
southeastern portion of the former Timiskaming
Cochrane riding. The present name of the
electoral riding is the Nipissing Temiskaming
electoral district.
Phelps township is located approximately
twenty five km north-east of the city of
North Bay. We are associated as the Northern
Part of unorganized townships within the
Nipissing District.
The township itself with approximatly 500tax
payers spreads out on
over 52.10 KM of rural country roads.
