History

Image:Tents on the prairie, west of the settlement, Red River, MB, 1858.jpg on the prairie near the Red River Colony, 1858]] Winnipeg lies at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, a location currently known as "The Forks". This point was at the crossroads of canoe routes travelled by Aboriginal peoples in Canada prior to European contact.lt;/ref> The name Winnipegis a transcription of the western Cree word wi-nipe-kmeaning "muddy waters";lt;/ref> the general area was populated for thousands of years by First Nations Through archaeology, petroglyph , rock art and oral history, scholars have learned that native peoples used the area in prehistoric times for camping, hunting, tool making, fishing, trading and, further north, for agriculture.lt;/ref> Before the first European presence, First Nations peoples appear to have been engaged in farming activity along the Red River, near present-day Lockport, Manitoba where maize and other seed crops were planted.lt;/ref> The rivers provided an extensive transportation network linking many indigenous peoples, including the Anishinaabe Assiniboine Ojibway Sioux and Cree The Red River linked ancient northern peoples with those to the south along the Missouri River and Mississippi River . The Ojibway made some of the first maps on birch bark which helped fur traders navigate the waterways of the area.lt;/ref>

Settlement

Image:UpperFortGarryEarly1870s.jpg with Upper Fort Garry in the background, early 1870s]] The first French officer arrived in the area in 1738.lt;/ref> Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, sieur de La Vérendrye built the first fur trading post on the site, called Fort Rouge (fortification) lt;/ref> Francophone trading continued at this site for several decades before the arrival of the British Hudson's Bay Company lt;/ref> Many French men married First Nations women; their children, the Métis people (Canada) hunted, traded, and lived in the area.lt;/ref> Lord Selkirk was involved with the first permanent settlement (Red River Colony , the purchase of land from the Hudsons Bay Company, and a survey of river lots in the early 1800s.Thomas Douglas, Dictionary of Canadian Biography V, 264-69. The North West Company built Fort Gibraltar in 1809, and the Hudsons Bay Company built Fort Douglas (Canada) in 1812.A Brief Chronology of Events Relative to Lord Selkirks Settlement at Red River - 1811 to 1815. Alice E. Brown. Manitoba Pageant, April 1962, Volume 7, Number 3 The two companies competed fiercely over trade in the area. The Métis and Lord Selkirks settlers fought at the Battle of Seven Oaks (1816) in 1816.HSMBC cairn, Winnipeg. Parks Canada, 1920. In 1821, the Hudsons Bay and North West Companies merged, ending their long-standing rivalry. Fort Gibraltar, at the site of present-day Winnipeg, was renamed Fort Garry in 1822 and became the leading post in the region for the Hudson’s Bay Company.Manitoba Time Line. http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/features/timeline.shtml Manitoba Historical Society] The fort was destroyed by a flood in 1826 and was not rebuilt until 1835. The fort was the residence of the Governor of the company for many years. A rebuilt section of the fort, consisting of the front gate and a section of the wall, can be found near the modern-day corner of Main Street and Broadway Avenue in downtown Winnipeg.lt;/ref> In 1869–70, Winnipeg was the site of the Red River Rebellion a conflict between the local provisional government of Métis, led by Louis Riel and newcomers from eastern Canada. General Garnet Wolseley, 1st Viscount Wolseley was sent to put down the Métis rebellion. This rebellion led to Manitobas entry into the Canadian Confederation as Provinces and territories of Canada in 1870.lt;/ref> On November 8, 1873, Winnipeg was incorporated as a city. Manitoba and Northwest Territories legislator James McKay (fur trader) named the settlement.lt;/ref> Winnipeg developed rapidly after the coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1881;lt;/ref> Canada was eager to settle the west before American interests and railways interfered. The Manitoba Legislative Building constructed mainly of Tyndall Stone opened in 1920; its dome supports a bronze statue finished in gold leaf, titled "Eternal Youth and the Spirit of Enterprise" (commonly known as the "Golden Boy (Manitoba) ).lt;/ref> Many new lots of land were sold and prices increased quickly due to high demand. Winnipeg faced financial difficulty when the Panama Canal opened in 1914.lt;/ref> The canal reduced reliance on Canadas rail system for international trade; the real estate market slowed down, and the increase in ship traffic helped Vancouver eventually surpass Winnipeg to become Canadas third-largest city in 1920.lt;/ref>

Strike to present

Image:WinnipegGeneralStrike.jpg Following World War I over 30,000 Winnipeggers walked off the job in May 1919 in what came to be known as the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919.lt;/ref> The strike was the result of a postwar recession, labour conditions, and the presence of union organizers and a large influx of returning soldiers.lt;/ref> After many arrests, deportations, and incidents of violence, the strike ended on June 21, 1919, when the Riot Act was read and a group of Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers charged a group of strikers.lt;/ref> Two strikers were killed and at least thirty others were injured, resulting in the day being known as Bloody Saturday the lasting effect was a polarized population. One of the leaders of the strike, J. S. Woodsworth went on to found Canadas first major socialist party, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), which later became the New Democratic Party lt;/ref> The stock market crash of 1929 hastened an already steep decline in Winnipeg; the Great Depression resulted in massive unemployment, which was worsened by drought and depressed agricultural prices.The Dirty Thirties in Prairie Canada: 11th Western Canada Studies. Western Canadian Studies Conference (11th: 1979: University of Calgary). Edited by R. D. Francis and H. Ganzevoort. Vancouver: Tantalus Research, 1980. ISBN 0-919478-46-8. The Depression ended when World War II started in 1939. The Winnipeg Grenadiers were among the first Canadians to engage in combat against Japan in the Battle of Hong Kong during World War II. Those in the battalion that were not killed in the conflict were captured and brutalized in prisoner of war camps.lt;/ref> In 1942, the Government of Canadas Victory Loan Campaign staged a mock Nazi invasion of Winnipeg to increase awareness of the stakes of the war in Europe.lt;/ref> After the war ended, pent-up demand brought a boom in housing development, but building activity came to a halt due to the 1950 Red River Flood the largest flood to hit Winnipeg since 1861. The disaster held waters above flood stage for 51 days.lt;/ref> On May 8, 1950, eight dikes collapsed, four of the citys eleven bridges were destroyed, and nearly 100,000 people had to be evacuated. This evacuation was Canadas largest ever. The federal government estimated damages at over $26 million, although the province insisted that it was at least double that.lt;/ref> In 1953, Manitoba was hit with the worst outbreak of poliomyelitis in Canada. There were 2,357 cases and 80 deaths.Manitoba 125 - A History v.3. Edited by Greg Shilliday. Winnipeg: Great Plains Publications, 1995. ISBN 0-9697804-1-9 Prior to 1972, Winnipeg was the largest of thirteen cities and towns in a metropolitan area around the Red and Assiniboine rivers. Unicity was created on July 27, 1971 and took effect with the first elections in 1972.The Reform of a Metropolitan Government: The Case of Winnipeg, 1971, by James Lightbody. 1978, Canadian Public Policy. The City of Winnipeg Act incorporated the current city of Winnipeg: the municipalities of Transcona, Winnipeg Saint Boniface, Manitoba St. Vital, Winnipeg West Kildonan East Kildonan, Winnipeg Tuxedo, Winnipeg Old Kildonan North Kildonan Fort Garry, Winnipeg Charleswood, Winnipeg and St. James-Assiniboia were amalgamated with the Old City of Winnipeg. With the formation of Unicity, Winnipeg became the first large North American city to move from split-level metropolitan government to a single administration.lt;/ref> Immediately following the 1979 energy crisis Winnipeg experienced a severe economic downturn in advance of the early 1980s recession Throughout the recession, the city incurred closures of prominent businesses, such as the Winnipeg Tribune and the Swift & Company and Canada Packers meat packing industry lt;/ref> In 1981, Winnipeg was one of the first cities in Canada to sign a tripartite agreement to redevelop its downtown area.lt;/ref> The three levels of government—federal, provincial and municipal—contributed over $271 million to the development needs of downtown Winnipeg.lt;/ref> In 1989, the reclamation and redevelopment of the Canadian National Railway rail yard turned The Forks, Winnipeg into Winnipegs most popular tourist attraction.
