Falconbridge, named after the town Falconbridge, which in turn was named for a prominent "son", one Sir William Glenholme Falconbridge , High Court Judge whose father John Kennedy Falconbridge, had migrated to Ontario from Lisburn Ireland.

Falconbridge was an important player in the economic and commercial development of the northern region of Ontario  Canada, particularly the communities in and around Sudbury .

History

In 1928, an experienced prospector and businessman Thayer Lindsley  purchased mining claims containing rich deposits of nickel-copper ore  in the area northeast of Sudbury. These claims had been established as early as 1901, when Thomas Edison  made the original discovery of the Falconbridge ore body but remained undeveloped until Lindsley's purchase. Soon thereafter, planning and construction of a company town began, to house and service workers for the future mines. The community, complete with utilities and a medical center, was named Falconbridge  after the geographic township in which it was located. Likewise, the company became known as Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited.
