C. N. Black was a Fort William resident active in the town's civic affairs in the late 1870s.
At a meeting held in Oliver, Davidson & Co.'s hall on 20 January 1879, Black was elected vice-president of an association formed to defend the interests of Fort William and the Kaministiquia River against Prince Arthur's Landing.[1] In the same period he chaired a committee organized to establish a newspaper at Fort William, which corresponded with the Toronto firm of Gwatkin & Son to obtain a printing press; the effort contributed to the founding of an early Fort William newspaper.[2]
