History

The town was built because of the construction of the National Transcontinental Railway in 1913. Established as a divisional point, Hearst is 208 kilometers west of Cochrane and 201 kilometers east of the divisional point of Grant. There is some historical ambiguity with the name Grant as the original site of Hearst was also called Grant and was changed to Hearst in 1911.

Hearst was named to honour William Howard Hearst and then Ontario Minister of Forests and Mines and later Premier of Ontario. It was incorporated in 1922. Many settlers to the town came from the province of Quebec. Many also came from Europe and other regions in Canada and the USA.
