The two cities of the same name are located on either side of the St. Mary's River, which connects Lake Superior and Lake Huron in North America. The river forms the border between Canada and the United States. The city on the north bank of the Canadian side is in the province of Ontario and has a population of 81,000 (1991), while the city on the American side is in the state of Michigan and has a population of 15,000 (1990). The rapids of the river form the Sault Ste. Mary Canal, and both cities are important port cities. The steel industry is also thriving on the Canadian side. The two cities are connected by a bridge.
