History
The lake lies along one of the oldest trading routes in North America to have flown the British flag. It has been used for fur trades for several centuries. After the establishment of the Second British Empire, a significant increase in trade occurred over Lake Winnipeg between Rupert's Land and the United States.
Henry Kelsey is believed to be the first European to see the lake, in 1690. He named the lake wīnipēk (meaning muddy waters) in the Cree language. La Vérendrye referred to the lake as Ouinipigon after building his first forts in the area in the 1730s. Finally, the Red River Colony to its south took the lake's name for Winnipeg.
