Kapuskasing (population 8,509 in the Canada 2006 Census) is a town on the Kapuskasing River in the Cochrane District of Northern Ontario, Canada, approximately 92 km (57.2 mi) east of Hearst. The town was known as MacPherson until 1917 when the name was changed so as not to conflict with another railway stop in Manitoba .
