Manitoba Cities with Hotels
All Countries > Canada > Manitoba Much of the countryside in southern Manitoba is farmland and gives the impression of a vast plain with a perfectly level horizon as far as the eye can see. In the center of the province the flat farmland gives way to vast areas of forest interspersed with hundreds of lakes. In the extreme north the land is much the same as it was thousands of years ago and presents a bleak array of stunted trees, exposed rock, and swamps. "Manitoba," Microsoft® Encarta® 97 Encyclopedia.

Manitoba, province in south central Canada and the easternmost of Canada's three Prairie provinces. Manitoba has been known as the Keystone Province ever since Canada's Governor-General Lord Dufferin described the province in 1877 as "the keystone of that mighty arch of sister provinces which spans the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific." Manitoba lies in the geographic center of Canada. Until the late l9th century, fur trading was the province's major economic activity. As large numbers of settlers came, agriculture became dominant. Manitoba was also a transportation and processing center for the agrarian west. In the 1940s and 1950s, industry gradually became the largest source of income.
