Incorporated in 1890, Gore Bay is one of the larger communities on Manitoulin. The town may have been named after its tapering gore-shaped harbour nestled between two splendid, tree-covered bluffs; or perhaps it derived its name from a steamship The Gore which was trapped in the ice of the bay one winter.
At the turn of the century, Gore Bay became the judicial centre of Manitoulin, and one of the Island’s commercial and professional centres. Elegant nineteenth-century mansions and imposing limestone buildings on the tree-lined streets testify to the prosperity of the early community.
Today Gore Bay thrives as a service centre for Western Manitoulin. Its fine natural harbour attracts boaters from around the Great Lakes. Both visitors and residents enjoy the good shopping, restaurants and medical services; the recreational facilities including docks, tennis courts, golf course, beach, park and picnic areas and the fun-filled summer celebrations.
