Manitoba is the "keystone" province located in the heart of Canada. Created by the Manitoba Act of 1870, the province was at first a tiny rectangle comprising little more than the Red River colony radiating from the juncture of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. After lengthy and often difficult provincial-federal negotiations, the boundaries were extended in 1881 and 1884. In 1912 they were finally set at lat 49º to lat 60º N and long 101º30'-102º W to long 95º W, angling northeast at about 53º north on the eastern boundary.

For 200 years the fur trade dominated the area known as Rupert's Land. Settlement, particularly from eastern Canada and eastern Europe, eventually created a sound agricultural tradition. Postwar political and economic efforts have enabled the economy to diversify industry and develop primary resources, while maintaining agricultural strength.
