Falconbridge is a community in the Ontario city of Greater Sudbury.

History
The geographic township of Falconbridge was named in the 1880s for William Glenholm Falconbridge, a justice of the High Court of Ontario. The original settlement in the township was a small lumber camp.
A significant ore body was discovered in 1902 by Thomas Edison near what is now Falconbridge's Centennial Park. Edison was unsuccessful in establishing a mining operation, and abandoned his original claim in 1903. The claim reverted to Crown land until the Longyear Drilling Company bought it in 1911. Longyear subsequently merged with other small mining companies in the area to form the basis of what would ultimately become Falconbridge Ltd., although actual mining operations in the community did not begin until 1928, when Thayer Lindsley purchased the company for $2,500,000 and finally sunk the Falconbridge deposit's first Shaft mining the following year.
Falconbridge Ltd. built the Edison Building in 1969 to serve as its head office.
Falconbridge Ltd. was taken over by Swiss mining company Xstrata in 2006. In 2007, Xstrata donated the Edison Building to the city to serve as the new home of the municipal archives.
Edison, Lindsley and Longyear all have streets named for them in the community.
