Colborn first came to Sagna in 1835, when Sagna was called Lapid. Before his arrival, the citizens decided to change the name of the city, but they didn't agree on which name to change it to.

This bridge is the most important truck highway in the north-south direction today. 189 1 saint clair river tunnel, the world's first cross-river railway tunnel, was completed. At that time, this tunnel was a technological miracle. It was built by compressed air excavation technology.

Tropical natural latex resources used to produce rubber were threatened in World War II, and Sarnia was chosen as the place to develop artificial rubber based on petroleum. Rubber is an important war material. At the request of the Canadian government, Dow Chemical built a polymer factory in Sarnia. Huge oil pipelines transport oil from Alberta to Sagna, and the petrochemical industry has become the main economic sector of the city. Shell Canada and Imperial Oil both have refineries in Saniya. The huge salt layer found underground in the city is used as the raw material of chlorine.
