The aim was to meet the high demand for this mineral during the American Civil War.<\/p><p>In 1870, the construction of the railroad facilitated the transportation of ore and brought American vacationers from the southern United States to North Hatley.<\/p><p>Originally made up of North Hatley (incorporated in 1897), Ayer&#8217;s Cliff (incorporated in 1909), Massawippi (now amalgamated with Hatley), Hatley (incorporated in 1912) and Ste-Catherine-de-Hatley (incorporated in 1901), as well as the villages of Minton and Reedsville, the Municipality of Canton de Hatley was originally a rural community that, thanks to its exceptional scenery and magnificent lake, has become a renowned tourist center. The region has attracted many artists, writers and poets over the years, and continues to do so.<\/p><h3>Statistics<\/h3><ul><li>Population: 2298<\/li><li>Constitution Date: 1855-07-01<\/li><li>Area:
