Definition
The capital and largest city of Manitoba, Canada, located at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers.
Etymology
From Cree 'win-nipi' meaning 'muddy waters,' referring to Lake Winnipeg. The name was first applied to the lake by indigenous peoples, then extended to the nearby Red River Settlement, and finally to the city founded in 1873. The Cree word reflects the lake's murky appearance due to sediment from numerous inflowing rivers.
Kelly Says
Winnipeg sits at the longitudinal center of North America and has been called the 'Gateway to the West' - it's the first major city you encounter when traveling west from Eastern Canada. Despite its inland location, Winnipeg was once connected to the ocean by steamship via the Red River, making it an important trading post in the fur trade era!
