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.[4] Settlers began arriving in the area in 1883 and two early settlements, Gartmore and "Old Dauphin" were established.[5] With the coming of the railway in 1896 – the line ran roughly halfway between the two villages – settlement shifted to the present site. This coincided with the beginning of Ukrainian settlement in the area: previously most arrivals had been of British extraction.Dauphin was granted a village charter on July 11, 1898, with George Barker as first mayor.[6] In 1901 Dauphin was incorporated as a town, with George King as mayor.[7] Dauphin became an important centre for the transportation of grain. Farming still plays a central role in the economy of the area, but its role has been greatly reduced. From 1974–1979, a federally funded pilot project called Mincome provided a Basic income guarantee to residents of Dauphin.[8]Dauphin was incorporated as a city in 1998.
As the largest city within the Parkland, Dauphin has a trading area of over 50,000 people.[9] A large part of Dauphin's economy is based on agriculture, with farms in this area of the province producing grains, oilseeds, honey and livestock. Dauphin is the home to various industries including manufacturing, health care, education, recreation/tourism and retail.[10] The Canadian distribution centre for Norwex is also located in the city.
