Bala, Ontario, was settled by Thomas Burgess in 1868, who named it after Bala, Wales. Its economy shifted from logging, which was hampered by the Canadian Shield, to a thriving tourist destination after the railway arrived in 1907, making it a popular summer resort and connecting point for steamships on the Muskoka lakes. The community was officially incorporated as a town in 1914.
