The Corporation of the Township of Tarbutt is located in the centre of the District of Algoma, nestled along the North Channel of Lake Huron. It became a Township on December 22nd 1911. Then became a Corporation on October 9th 1956. The area is well known and loved for its rugged beauty and peacefulness. The many islands and shoreline with its jagged white rocks and pine trees, have inspired many a folklorist, artist, and poet over the years.
The location of Tarbutt Township is on both sides of the Trans-Canada Highway 17 East. The shoreline dotted with many rocky islands, have drawn tourists to the area for almost a century. During the summer months the population influx exceeds that of the permanent residents. However, the Township has remained a rural one, and enjoys benefits from having both an agricultural based community, and a summer community. Agriculture is the main occupation of the rural residents, but industries in Sault Ste. Marie are also major employers of local residents who enjoy the commute. Tarbutt is approximately a 40 km drive from Sault Ste. Marie.
The current year round population of the Township is approximately 450 people but swells to double that during the summer months when seasonal residents come to enjoy their properties.
