Gore Bay became a town on April 7, 1890, on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, Canada. Located on Gore Bay, a bay of Lake Huron's North Channel, it is one of the two incorporated towns of Manitoulin District, of which it is the administrative and government seat. After the Treaty of 1862, Manitoulin Island was open for white settlement. Small towns began to emerge from the wilderness, and hotels were developed to provide lodgings for prospective land purchasers. This led to the formation of the town Gore Bay. The town's name is believed to be referencing the gore-shaped harbour. Other theories for the namesake are probably for Sir Francis Gore (1769-1852), Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada from 1806-1817, or after the steamer Gore (c. 1839 and scrapped 1861), which ran between Sault Ste. Mari

  • 戈爾灣(英語:Gore Bay)是加拿大安大略省北部馬尼圖林區一鎮,為該區的行政中心,坐落馬尼圖林島北部休倫湖北湖峽沿岸。據2011年加拿大人口普查所示,戈爾灣有850名居民。 歐裔居民於1870年代陸續遷居至此,該帶首間郵局於1874年設立。戈爾灣鎮址於1875年正式劃定,首幅地皮於1876年8月售出。1884-85年度的《安大略省憲報》記載,戈爾灣當時約有600名居民。馬尼圖林區於1888年脫離阿爾戈馬區後就行政中心選址舉行公投,結果戈爾灣於1889年脫穎而出,並於1890年4月7日正式建制為鎮。 馬尼圖林島上的主要公路安大略540號省道以東西走向從南方掠過戈爾灣鎮外圍,其支線540B省道則伸展至戈爾灣鎮中心。542號省道的西北端終點亦設於戈爾灣鎮外圍,自此往東南伸延至馬尼圖林島東南部並與6號省道交匯。 (zh)
