Information EDIT THIS ENTRY

A sawmill town which began in 1907 when Frank Nester and H. Bishop of the Thessalon Lumber Company bought land on MacBeth Bay and built a sawmill. Nesterville produced wood for over twenty years. As the community grew, several stores opened for business. A church and school were built and of course, the post office (1907). The population was approximately 400 residents. The sawmill closed in the 1930's and never opened for business again. By the 1950's, only a few hundred residents remained. The post office closed in 1960. The former store and a few cabins remain. When highway 17 was widened, some of the existing buildings were demolished. Location: Take Highway 17 West towards Elliot Lake. Nesterville is 6 km west of Thessalon. You can see it from the highway on the north side.
