Sault Ste. Marie Live Cam

Sault Ste. Marie is a city located in Ontario, Canada, at the northeastern end of Lake Superior. It is the third-largest city in Northern Ontario and has a rich history that spans thousands of years.

Indigenous peoples, including the Ojibwe (also known as Chippewa), Odawa, and Potawatomi, have inhabited the Sault Ste. Marie area for centuries. They used the area as a gathering place, trading hub, and transportation route due to its strategic location between the Great Lakes and the interior of North America.

European exploration and fur trade in the region began in the 17th century. In 1668, French Jesuit missionaries established a mission near the rapids of the St. Marys River, which is now known as the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge. This area became a key trading post and transportation route connecting the Great Lakes to the western interior of the continent.
