Named in honour of the Arctic explorer Sir William Parry, the town was founded in 1887 by William Beatty, a British land surveyor. The Beatty family began in the timber trade and their company operated a sawmill on the Seguin River. They added a steamship service between Collingwood, Parry Sound and what is now Thunder Bay. Beatty set up a general store in town and persuaded local politicians to keep the township free of alcohol. Up until 1950, anyone who bought land in the town had to sign an agreement not to sell alcohol on their premises.
