Description

First visited by the Europeans in the 17th century, Manotiba was later explored and fortified by both the British and French. Acquired by Canada in the late 1860s it became a province in 1870.

Known by sportsmen as the "Province of Lakes," the largest being Lake Winnipeg, larger than Lake Ontario of Great Lakes fame, Manitoba is mostly flat, with some hills and small mountains southwest. Winnipeg, the capital, is the only major city.
