Hearst is a town in the district of Cochrane, Ontario, Canada.[3][4] It is located on the Mattawishkwia River in Northern Ontario, approximately {{convert|92|km|mi}} west of Kapuskasing, approximately {{convert|935|km|mi}} north of Toronto and {{convert|520|km|mi}} east of Thunder Bay along Highway 11. At Hearst, Highway 583 extends northward to Lac-Sainte-Thérèse and southward to Jogues, Coppell and Mead.

History

The town came into being due to the construction of the National Transcontinental Railway in 1913. Established as a divisional point, Hearst is 208 km west of Cochrane and 201 km east of the divisional point of Grant. There is some historical ambiguity with the name Grant as the original site of Hearst was also called Grant and was changed to Hearst in 1911.

Hearst was named to honour William Howard Hearst, then Ontario Minister of Forests and Mines and later Premier of Ontario.[5] It was incorporated in 1922. Many settlers to the town originally came from the province of Quebec. Many also came from Europe and other regions in Canada and the USA.
