 | | In 1880 the British government transferred its claim to the islands in the Arctic Ocean (collectively known as the Arctic Archipelago) to Canada. | | | While large in geographic size, the territory is home to few people: In 2005 its population was 42,944. | | | The mainland of the Northwest Territories was part of British North America until 1870, when Canada obtained the Hudson’s Bay Company’s lands from the British government. |

| | Yellowknife (62°27′N 114°21′W MST) is the capital of Canada's Northwest Territories, and the only city in the territory, with a population of over 20,000 as of 2006. | | | This important new status provided what has been coined as the third boom in Yellowknife, as housing went up in new subdivisions of town to accommodate an influx of government workers. | | | Located on the north shore of Great Slave Lake on the west side of Yellowknife Bay near the outlet of the Yellowknife River, Yellowknife and its surrounding waterbodies were named after the copper knives used by the local Chipewyan and Dene who moved into the area in the early 1800s. |
