The town's avant-garde style earned it the nickname "Anson's Folly".<ref name="Abel" />
The town was incorporated in 1915, and a board of trade was chartered in 1926.{{
The paper mill created a dramatic change to the area, and people migrated to the community for work.{{
The creation of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway (now [[Ontario Northland Railway]]) greatly boosted the economy as there were few roads at the time.{{
As Iroquois Falls grew, two new communities within the town began to emerge. An area known first as "The Wye" (because the rail tracks split at this point) grew to the south, and was at first a ramshackle collection of cabins and shacks. It later became known as Ansonville, and was home to a number of business people and others who were shut out from the company town. In contrast to Iroquois Falls, Ansonville had little town planning, and no water, sewer, or electrical service. Insurance companies would not insure homes there because the risk of fire was too great, and the first residents were French-Canadians, Russians and Ukrainians. Animosity was frequent between Ansonville and Iroquois Falls, and many residents of Iroquois Falls condemned Ansonville "as a dark den of foreigners engaged in regular street brawls, illegal alcohol consumption, and other unsavoury activities"<ref name="Abel"/>{{rp|85}}
