Shuniah

Shuniah () is a municipal township in Thunder Bay District, Ontario, Canada, bordering the city of Thunder Bay to the southwest. Shuniah was incorporated by an act of the Ontario legislature in 1873, and at that time included much of present-day Thunder Bay and its predecessor and surrounding municipalities.

Shuniah, named after the Ojibwa word "zhooniyaa" for "money" or "silver" (see the French), was settled largely due to silver mining potential identified in the mid-19th century.
