The railroad was built to Mattawa in 1881[2] A railway line from Mattawa to Témiscaming, Quebec opened in 1923,[3]

Mattawa was located on the Canadian Pacific Railway's Chalk River subdivision, connecting Smiths Falls and North Bay. The route was later leased to Ottawa Valley Railway, and part of it was abandoned and torn up.
