Iroquois Falls, town, Cochrane district, east-central Ontario, Canada. It lies along the Abitibi River, just west of Lake Abitibi, 190 miles (300 km) north-northwest of North Bay. The town was named for the falls on the river, where, according to Indian legend, Iroquois braves, asleep in their war canoes, were cut loose by captive Huron women and swept to their deaths. It originated as a company town in 1912–13, when the provincial government granted the townsite to the Abitibi Power and Paper Company. Iroquois Falls has planned parks, schools, and a hospital. The nearby falls provide hydroelectric power for the company’s huge pulp, paper, newsprint, and sulfite mills. The town, 35 miles (56 km) northeast of Timmins, is just east of the Ontario Northland Railway. Inc. 1915. Pop. (2006) 4,729; (2011) 4,595.
