Manitoba
Manitoba's capital and largest city is called Winnipeg, which comes from the Cree name 'win-nipi'. What does it translate as?
The Cree name 'win-nipi' referred specifically to the large lake north of the city of Winnipeg that carries the same name. While the 'muddy waters' were those of the lake, it certainly still applies to the waters of Winnipeg's rivers.
Winnipeg was incorporated as a city in 1873. In 1971, a unicity amalgamation joined the (then) City of Winnipeg with the municipalities of Transcona, St. Boniface, St. Vital, West Kildonan, East Kildonan, Tuxedo, Old Kildonan, North Kildonan, Fort Garry, Charleswood, and the City of St. James.
