The Canadian city of North Bay, Ontario, is divided into numerous neighbourhoods.

Feronia is a dispersed rural community and unincorporated place ( 46°21′44″N79°19′06″W / 46.36222°N 79.31833°W ). [1] It used to be a farming community with a school, general store and community centre. In 2005 Feronia is far less impressive, however still with a decent population scattered off the highway. There is still a community centre, which is mostly an ice rink and a swing set, and up off the highway slightly on Cemetery Road, you will find a cemetery that has been there since the early 1900s. Daly's Road, so named for the Daly family who had farms all along that road, Four Mile Lake Road and Feronia Road are predominantly the entrance points to Feronia off the highway.
Some time between 1906 and 1918, Maude Emma Beach became the first school teacher for the brand new one room school house built on Feronia Road. This school house serviced the farming community of the area, and it was not uncommon for children to miss school during harvest and planting time.
