About the city:
"Dauphin (French for the eldest son of the king of
France) is a small city in Manitoba, Canada, with a population of 7,906 as of
2006. The nearby lake was given the name "Dauphin" by the explorer Pierre
Gaultier de Varennes, sieur de La Vérendrye in 1741 in honour of the heir to the
French throne. Settlers began arriving in the area in 1883 and two early
settlements, Gartmore and "Old Dauphin" were established. With the coming of the
railway in 1896 - the rail line ran roughly halfway between the two villages -
settlement shifted to the present site. The coming of the railroad also
coincided with the beginning of Ukrainian settlement in the Dauphin area. Before
that time, most arrivals had been of British extraction." - from Wikipedia:
