Description
"Killarney Harbour" by Debbie Oppermann.The community of Killarney is situated on the rocky shores of the North Channel of Georgian Bay (in Lake Huron) in the province of Ontario, Canada. For many years, the village was known as Shebahonaning, an Ojibwe name meaning "canoe passage". The Native peoples who hunted, fished, and trapped here lived on what was to become a well travelled route for the voyageurs and explorers of France and England. Fur trade posts were built along the Georgian Bay, with the Killarney post established on June 28th 1820.Fur trading, logging, commercial fishing, mining and tourism have all played a major role at one time or another in Killarney's economy. With no road access until 1962, water was for many years the only route of travel for its citizens and visitors.This picturesque harbour has a long history as a fur trading outpost and thriving fishing village.
