History
The community was created as a paper mill town in the mid 1920s as Manitoba Pulp and Paper Company. The company was sold to Abitibi-Consolidated, Abitibi Paper Company and became Pine Falls Paper Group in 1995 after employee buyout; finally, it sold to Tembec in 1998. In 2009, Tembec shut down the mill for good and the site was demolished by 2012, but the mill's footprint next to Slasher Bay is still visible. The mine was served by Canadian National Railway since 1924 and ended after the mill closed. The current-day town of Powerview-Pine Falls came as result of an Merger (politics), amalgamation of the previous town of Powerview () with the previously unincorporated area of Pine Falls (), to its west.Demographics
