The unorganized area is gradually being reduced in size. In 1967, a portion was transferred to Unorganized Timiskaming,[2] and between 1996 and 2001, its area shrank from 7,216.66 square kilometres (2,786.37 sq mi) to 3,630.64 square kilometres (1,401.80 sq mi),[3] because of annexation by surrounding incorporated towns and townships.[4]
