Eldorado, Ontario, Canada

The First of Them All:  If you can't be first in the nation, you can at least be first in the province.  What ties the present to the past, though, is the place-name Eldorado.  El Dorado was the "city of gold" sought since the 1500s.  Today, Canadian firms, including El Dorado Gold, dominate the world's gold mining industry.  [2002]
