and Dauphin Lake and south of Lake Winnipegosis.


History

The nearby lake was given the name "Dauphin" by the explorer Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, sieur de La Vérendrye in 1741 in honour of the heir to the French throne. Settlers began arriving in the area in 1883 and two early settlements, Gartmore and "Old Dauphin" were established. With the coming of the railway in 1896 – the line ran roughly halfway between the two villages – settlement shifted to the present site. This coincided with the beginning of Ukrainian settlement in the area: previously most arrivals had been of British extraction. Dauphin was granted a village charter on 11 July 1898, with George Barker as first mayor.Dauphin Manitoba Sixtieth Anniversary Celebration – Historical Booklet Published by the Dauphin Chamber of Commerce, 1958 In 1901 Dauphin was incorporated as a town, with George King as mayor.

. Farming still plays a central role in the economy of the area, but its role has been greatly reduced. From 1974 to 1979, a federally funded pilot project called Mincome provided a Basic income guarantee to residents of Dauphin. Dauphin was incorporated as a city in 1998.


Healthcare

Dauphin is a regional healthcare hub, part of the Prairie Mountain Health authority. The Dauphin General Hospital (now the Dauphin Regional Health Centre) was established in 1901. The Dauphin Medical Clinic provides access to family physicians and specialists, while providing a walk-in clinic and acute care.


Economy

As the largest city within the Parkland, Dauphin has a trading area of over 50,000 people. A large part of Dauphin's economy is based on agriculture, with farms in this area of the province producing grains, oilseeds, honey and livestock. Dauphin is the home to various industries including manufacturing, health care, education, recreation/tourism and retail. The Canadian distribution centre for Norwex is also located in the city.


Education

The first school building was erected in Dauphin in 1903, a frame building on the present Mackenzie School site. The original Whitmore School was built on Fifth Ave. SW in 1907, followed by the Smith-Jackson School on Main Street South in 1922. Today, the
