Faraday is a township in the Canadian province of Ontario, located within Hastings County adjacent to the town of Bancroft. The township of Faraday was first settled 1857, when iron ore deposits were discovered. Prior to the 1922 discovery of uranium, mica, feldspar, and other minerals were mined on a small scale in area. Inspired by finds of gold in nearby Eldorado (now Madoc) in 1886–7 and onwards, many people moved to the area hoping to find gold. The Barker Quarries operated south of Marble Lake sporadically from 1908 into the late 1930s, providing marble for government buildings in Ottawa and Casa Loma and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
