    Administrative history

    The Algoma Steel Company Limited was originally part of the industrial complex developed by Francis H. Clergue in Sault Ste. Marie and was incorporated with Letters Patent in Ontario on May 10, 1901. Its incorporation was confirmed by an Act of the Provincial Legislature in 1902. The company, a subsidiary of the Consolidated Lake Superior Company, was empowered to manufacture and deal in iron, steel, nickle, charcoal and timber and to build bridges, railway equipment and ships and to own and operate mines and to hold shares in other companies.The first steel made in Ontario and the first rail rolled in Canada was produced at its Bessemer plant in May, 1902.The Lake Superior Power Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Algoma Steel Company Ltd. in 1902. In 1903, the Consolidated Lake Superior Company was thrown into bankruptcy. On May 19, 1904 a new holding company, the Lake Superior Corporation, was formed and the various subsidiary companies were transferred under its control. On April 1, 1912, the assets and liabilities of the Algoma Steel Co. Ltd., the Lake Superior Power Power Co., the Algoma Commercial Co. and the Algoma Iron Works Ltd. were transferred to the Lake Superior Iron and Steel Co. At the same time the Lake Superior Iron and Steel Co. secured Supplementary Letters Patent to change its name to the Algoma Steel Corporation Ltd.
