History:
The city gets its name from the copper tools historically made and traded by the local Dene. The most common Dene name for Yellowknife is Somba K'e, which translates to Where the money is. It is a fitting title for a town with a gold-mining history. The Yellowknife site is located in traditional Chipewyansp hunting territory. Peter Pond is probably the first white man to reach the site of the city, around 1785; he is in any case the first to identify it on a map the same year. The following year, he established the old Fort Providence 30 kilometers to the southeast (not to be confused with the current Fort Providence. This fort served until 1823 as an outpost to Fort Athabasca, located in the northern Alberta. At the time, the only town in the region was Dettah, located 5 kilometers to the southeast and populated by the Dene, although trappers, hunters and prospectors camped at Yellowknife Bay. In search of the Mackenzie River, Alexander MacKenzie visited Fort Providence in 1789. The site of Yellowknife was populated at the beginning of the 19th century by the Yellow Knives, a population now included in the Chipewyans. John Franklin camped near the site of the town in 1820. The Chipewyan population declined at the same time and the town site was repopulated by the Tlicho In 1898, a prospector found gold in Yellowknife during the Klondike Gold Rush. A first gold deposit in the The native state was discovered in 1934 and a first mine opened in 1936. Yellowknife was officially founded in 1934, when the area today called Old Town was little more than a few cabins and a rough-and-tumble mining camp. It evolved into the seat of the territorial government a legacy still on display at the Legislative Assembly before another mining boom arrived in the 90s with the discovery of nearby diamond deposits.
