About Wollaston / Coe Hill
The Township of Wollaston sits in Hastings County, with the hamlet of Coe Hill as its main community. Named for William Pardee Coe, the hamlet grew after iron-ore deposits were found in 1882: Coe formed the Coe Hill Mines company and brought the Central Ontario Railway to the village by 1884. The ore proved too low-grade to mine viably, and the village settled into quiet rural life. Township Road 620 runs through Coe Hill, connecting Highway 28 to the west with Highway 62 to the east.
