Excerpt: With a population of almost 880, Sault Ste. Marie was incorporated as a village on July 29, 1871. It became a township on April 23, 1887. Twenty-five years after becoming a town, the provincial government granted Sault Ste. Marie a city charter. The Act to incorporate the City of Sault Ste. Marie left boundaries, by-laws, regulations, contracts, and employees as they had been under the township and allowed the former town council to carry on as the first city council until elections could be held in the new year.
