History of Dauphin 

With so many cultures woven 

together to form a colourful and 

vibrant community, we invite you to 

discover the rich tapestry of history 

Dauphin offers. 

Lake Dauphin was founded in 1739 

by Francois de la Verendrye, who 

named it after the oldest son of the 

King of France. Established as a furtrading 

post, “Fort Dauphin” is now a 

charming city that extends across the 

prairie landscape just to the east of the 

Vermillion River. Growing numbers of 

fur traders in the 1800’s helped spread 

word about fertile land surrounding 

Lake Dauphin. With visions of wealth 

and freedom, the first frontier settlers 

of Scottish and English descent moved 

to the valley. Sawmills, flour mills 

and trading posts sprang up along the 

Vermillion River, Wilson River and the 

mouth of the Valley River. 

With the opening up of the heart 

of the region, population virtually 

Just The Facts

about Dauphin 

poured in. Although the region was 

first settled by people from the British 

Isles, immigrants soon arrived from 

Germany, Central Europe and, most 

notably, the Ukraine. Dauphin quickly 

emerged as the main trading centre in 

central Western Manitoba. Settlements 

began to emerge in the 1880’s; 

Gartmore (approximately two miles 

southwest of the present City) and 

Old Dauphin (two miles northeast of 

the City). The advent of the railway 

resulted in the establishment of 

Dauphin situated between Gartmore 

and Old Dauphin. 

Dauphin is the birthplace of World 

War I hero Lieutenant-Colonel W.G. 

(Billy) Barker V.C. whom the Dauphin 

Airport was named after in 1998. 

Dauphin was incorporated as a 

Village in 1898, as a Town in 1901 

and as a City in 1998. Since its early 

beginnings Dauphin has grown into a 

thriving society proud of its roots! 

to 11.9°C (low). Average January 

temperatures range from -12.1°C 

(high) to -23.4°C (low). The area 

enjoys sunshine 21% of the time on an 

annual basis! The Riding Mountains 

to the south allow for Chinook-type 

winds, often making Dauphin the 

warmest spot in Manitoba. 

Population 

There are approximately 10,300 people 

in the City and Rural Municipality of 

Dauphin. The trading area population 

is estimated at 42,870.

WWII Training Schools 

During WWII, young airmen from the Commonwealth flew over the 

Dauphin area while training for the war effort. On February 27, 1941, 

training commenced at No.10 S.F.T.S (Service Flight Training School) 

located at the present day Lt. Colonel W.G. Barker V.C. Airport, as well 

as at the No.1 and No.2 Relief Fields: No.1 “North Junction” was 

located on Highway 362, six kilometres north of Dauphin, while No.2 

“Valley River R.C.A.F.” was situated six kilometers west on gravel road 

151. Here, the student pilots practiced touchdowns and take-offs on 

the grass runways. 

The No.7 Bombing and Gunnery School opened on June 24, 1941 at 

Paulson, located 13 kilometres east of Dauphin on Highway 20. Because 

of its proximity, Lake Dauphin was used as a practice bombing 

target range, where there are still a few visible remains of a once-thriving 

base. There were many crashes in the area and over 50 men lost 

their lives. Some of the airmen, from Britain, New Zealand and Australia, 

are buried at the Riverside Cemetery in Dauphin. by Ed Stozek

A Labour of Love 

Ukrainian settlers first began to arrive to Dauphin in the 1920’s and 30’s. 

As Dauphin’s Ukrainian population grew the need for a larger church where 

worshippers could congregate arose. So it was that the Historic Ukrainian 

Catholic Church of the Resurrection was designed by Father Philip Ruh, and 

built by a dedicated group of volunteers between 1936 and 1939. Men, 

women and children gladly contributed money and time to construct the 

beautiful church. They hauled gravel and wood, mixed cement, did carpentry 

and masonry. The women would also prepare hot lunches for the workers 

and organized fundraising events such as bazaars, picnics and box socials. 

The magnificent painting of the church interior was not done until 1957 by a 

man named Theodore Baran. The iconographer from Saskatoon hand painted 

the entire church interior. In 1990 when the Ukrainian Catholic Church’s congregation 

was it its largest the parish decided to undertake construction of 

a new church. The majority of the parishioners had wished to tear down the 

current church but a small group of committed volunteers stood up for the 

church they knew would one day become an important part of their history. 

After they had voiced their concerns, land just across the street was chosen 

instead for the new church. This National and Provincial heritage site stands 

today only because of the devotion of its volunteers.

Legend Has It… 

The Angel 

near Sifton 

Danylshen, the only son of the Luchuk family, had bought land in the Sifton area in 

the early 1900’s. Shortly thereafter, Anna, a young school teacher from Italy moved 

to the area. They fell in love and were married. The following July, Luchuk’s true love 

and their unborn child died during child birth. To honor her, he had a marble angel (as 

pictured above) sent from Italy to be set on her grave. Times were tight during the period 

and when the angel arrived he did not have enough money to pay for it. However, 

because of the weight of the angel, it was easier for the shipping company to leave the 

angel behind rather than send it back to Italy. To this day, many orange lilies grow wild 

around the angel and every July a single white lily appears on her grave. It is believed 

that it is put there by her loving husband. (map R8) N51°18’23.5” W100°16’54.0

Russian Orthodox Church 

of North America 

The silver domes of this Russian 

Orthodox Church gleam in restored 

splendor! Built in 1926 close to the 

site of the Holy Ascension Orthodox 

Monastery, this architecturally unique 

church was nearly lost to history. 

It has been restored as part of the 

Prairie Churches of Manitoba project 

with great community support. Two 

kilometers west of town on Highway 

267 a cairn marks the 60 year old site 

of monastery and the first Russian 

Orthodox orphanage in Canada. Just 

beyond is the parish and monastery 

country cemetery. The Sifton Historic 

Society welcomes visitors to the restored 

Russian Orthodox Church and 

museum for a tour. (map R32a)

Mary Maxim Company 

The famous Mary Maxim Company, 

known for its unique sweater designs, 

had its beginning in Sifton around 

1935 when a young CNR station 

master named Willard McPhedrain 

founded the company. By 1955 Mary 

Maxim had grown immensely and 

the business moved its operations to 

2nd Ave N.E. in Dauphin where it 

continued to employ many people 

from all over the region. In 1959, 

the company once again expanded 

and moved to Paris, Ontario, where 

it still exists today. The Mary Maxim 

products are presently sold in almost 

every country in the world and this 

well-known business’ success all 

originated from its humble beginnings 

in Sifton.

The cairn was built in 2000 to honour

dear diary 

Dear Diary 

We had so much fun in Dauphin on our family trip last year, that Mom and Dad decided that we 

should go for a whole week this year! I was so excited to go back to some of the places 

we saw last year, and to see some new things. 

DAY 1 It was the last day of school before summer holidays, and we hit the road as soon 

as school let out. Dauphin isn’t far away so we were able to get there in time for supper and 

check into our campsite in Vermillion Park. We visited the park last year so I couldn’t wait 

to stay there in our camper! 

DAY 2 There is so much to do in Dauphin! This weekend we were lucky because the 

Dauphin Fair is going on, and there is even a parade! We went to the midway and I rode on the 

merry-go-round, ate cotton candy, and then got to watch a horse show and pet all kinds of 

animals. Did you know that baby goats are called kids, too? 

DAY 3 Mom was on the lookout for Brooks & Dunn all day. They are her favorite country 

singers and Mom said they were here for a music festival called Countryfest. I like music too, 

but Dad and I would rather be on the lookout for wildlife, so we spent the day taking the 

Riding Mountain Biosphere Tour. We saw a deer, a moose, and a black bear while were driving but 

we also stopped at some interesting places along the way and learned a lot about people 

who lived here a long time ago. I always thought that cemeteries were scary, but we 

visited some during our tour and they are actually kind of cool. It is really pretty here! 

DAY 4 Today we decided to relax around our camper and explore Vermillion Park a little more. 

The trails were super fun to ride my bike on and Dad said you can ski on them in the 

winter, or even skate on the river. I hope we can come back someday when there is 

snow but for now I am glad I can swim in the wading pool! Oh, and dad says that Manitoba’s 

only indoor wave pool is in Dauphin! 

DAY 5 Shopping day! We were camped so close to downtown that we could walk 

everywhere! Mom and I bought some clothes, and souvenirs at the National Ukrainian 

photos (pens/book): istockphoto.com

Festival Boutique. We also found really neat jewelry and candles at the Watson Art Centre, all 

handmade by people from the Parkland. While were downtown we had lunch at a yummy 

restaurant and spent some time relaxing in a park beside the beautiful train station 

(I remember that we went there last year to see the Rail Museum). Even Dad had fun on 

shopping day! 

DAY 6 Baba means ‘Grandma’ in Ukrainian, and they can really cook! We had signed 

up for an experience called Baba’s Bread & Borscht, and we got to make everything with 

them. We made a soup called borscht and baked bread in an oven made of clay, just 

like they did in the old days. They even showed us how they make the clay ovens! 

At the end of the day we ate the borscht we made and got to take our bread home 

as a souvenir. It was a fun experience and even though we aren’t Ukrainian, we 

all agreed that we have to come to the National Ukrainian Festival someday. 

DAY 7 It was our last day in Dauphin and there are still so many things we wanted 

to see and do. We had already experienced nature, learned about history and culture, 

bought souvenirs, and toured the area, but we decided 

to pick berries on our way home. There are lots of 

farmers here but I didn’t know that you could also be 

a berry farmer or a bee farmer. We picked so many 

strawberries, raspberries and saskatoons, I think we 

will be eating pie until next year! 

I took a lot of pictures to remember my trip, but 

I can’t wait to come back to Dauphin again. The 

people are really friendly and the sun shines a lot! 

Maybe next year we can bring my aunt, uncle 

and cousin with us so we can show them how 

much fun Dauphin is. There is still so much to 

do there, so I had better start my wish list as 

soon as we get home!

Vermillion Park & Walking Trail 

One of the most visible wetland environments 

and a great place to view 

ducks and turtles is Vermillion Park. 

With an oxbow known locally as the 

“Dead River”, this wetland habitat 

offers tremendous opportunity to 

view waterfowl and wildlife. 

Outdoor enthusiasts can also explore 

the Vermillion River Walking Trail 

throughout the four seasons. Walking, 

running and cycling during the 

summer months transforms into 

cross-country skiing, snowshoeing 

and ice-skating in the winter. The 

trail is lit to allow for evening walks 

and groomed for cross-country skiing 

during the winter months. 

The 3-km trail amongst the unique 

flora and fauna highlights the diversity 

of interacting ecosystems and 

different habitat areas. Local naturalist, 

William Walley, identified The 

Riverine Community, The Woodland 

Clearing, The Oxbows, The Closed 

Canopy Forest, and The Grassy Clearing 

all within this beautiful city park. 

Further trail developments are underway 

and will honor the exploration 

efforts of LaVerendrye and Peter 

Fidler by extending the trail to the 

Fort Dauphin Museum. 

The park also has many other amenities 

for the daily and over-night 

visitor, including a camp host who is 

present at Vermillion Park 24 hours 

day in the summer months, a full service 

campground (11 sites plus many 

unserviced sites), a playground, 

supervised wading pool for the kids, 

and picnic sites. (map P17)

Berry Patch 

The Berry Patch was initiated as a 

Bushel of Berries Demonstration 

Site to showcase the many different 

varieties of berry trees that can be 

grown in local areas. Situated on the 

west side of the CNR Station, this 

English style garden features a variety 

of berries, fruit trees and perennials 

making it one of Dauphin’s hidden 

treasures. (map P1) 

Gartmore Park 

One of Dauphin’s original parks, 

Gartmore Park carries historical 

significance to the community. Gartmore 

Park is a meeting place for family 

gatherings, meetings and picnics. 

Through a Manitoba Hometown 

Grant, Dauphin was able to restore 

this park to its former glory, making 

Gartmore Park a beautiful place to 

stroll through or sit and enjoy a cup 

of coffee. (map P8) 

Meadowlark Park 

Meadowlark Park is the second largest 

urban park in the community. 

You can purchase a daily or seasonal 

pass from the Parkland Recreation 

Complex at 622-3109 to play a 

game of tennis on one of the four 

tennis courts, or bring a volleyball 

and some friends to enjoy a game 

of beach volleyball on one of the 

two courts. You can also enjoy a few

This wildlife sanctuary was donated 

to the Manitoba Wildlife Federation 

by the late Gordon Mitchell. Once 

a trapper, Gordon evolved into an 

avid naturalist and photographer. 

The sanctuary offers hiking, fishing, 

snowshoeing and a picnic area 

providing excellent opportunity for 

viewing and listening to the sounds 

of wildlife. (map R14)

The Ghost of Whitewater Lake 

During WWII, a Prisoner Of War Camp situated by Whitewater Lake 

in the Riding Mountain National Park, was home to 450 German prisoners 

who were captured in North Africa. One of the prisoners, Max 

Neugebauer, was injured while cutting a tree. He was brought to the 

Dauphin General Hospital where he died several days later. After much 

debate his funeral was held at the St. Viator’s Roman Catholic Church 

and his remains were interred at the Dauphin cemetery. His body was 

exhumed in 1970 as all deceased German P.O.W.’s in Canada were 

buried in Kitchener. The headstone ended up in a ravine and then at 

the Fort Dauphin Museum. During the construction of the Archeological 

Building the headstone disappeared and is believed to be part of the 

cement footings. If a person believes in ghosts then there would be a 

possibility that Max’s ghost might still be around. All of his comrades 

went back home after the war and Max was left behind to wander the 

dance halls on the south side of the RMNP that he and his comrades 

frequented, as well as the Dauphin area where he was laid to rest.
