It is located on Kaien Island and received the right to municipal self -government (incorporated) on March 10, 1910. The place was named after Ruprecht by the Palatinate, Duke of Cumberland. It is also referred to as the “City of Rainbow” because there are very high rainfall (2500 mm p. A.). It is one of the starting points for the inside passage as well as for whale observation and for tours in the Great Bear Rainforest. Prince Rupert is located in the traditional area of \u200b\u200bthe Tsimshian and is the Canadian city with the highest proportion of indigenous population. This is around 32%. The municipality houses a base of the Canadian coast guard, the “CCG Base Seal Cove”. Early history [ Edit | Edit the source text ] Settlement traces can be used up to 3000 BC. P -trace back. At that time, the Tsimshian, which was still based around Prince Rupert, lived in the region. Extensive excavations took place from 1966 to 1978. In the harbor, a warrior grave from around 200 AD was found next to the warrior, a woman’s skull was found, possibly a warrior. In addition, there were two legs, one from the jaw of an orca, a dagger, a copper bracelet, a goat horn and a hammer stone. In addition, there were remnants of armor, as they wore the Tsimshian warriors around 1800. Around 14,000 m\u00b3 of cultural life were searched, whereby alone on the nearby Lachane Site 500 wooden artifacts came to light. A total of around 200 houses could be demonstrated, each of which was leveled after an average lifespan of 25 years, forming a hill. There were also waste. Another source is the hiding places for winter supplies called “Pit Cache”, mostly fish. One of the most important collections on the regional Tsimshian culture is the Dundas Collection . She goes back to the Scottish cleric Reverend Robert James Dundas, who lived in Old Metlakatla near Prince Rupert in 1863. He acquired numerous pieces from William Duncan, an Anglican missionary who reached the handing over of numerous ritual objects and works of art from his Tsimshian supporters. Dundas brought the art treasures to the Scottish Edinburgh. His great-grandson Simon Carey sold the collection at Sotheby\u2019s in New York in October 2006 for more than $ 7 million-the highest price ever achieved for a first-nation-future collection. The majority of Canadian museums and organizations auctioned. The objects were issued in consultation with the older of the Tsimshian tribes by Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla. First Europeans, end of the Tsimshian dominance [ Edit | Edit the source text ] When the first Europeans came to the Tsimshian area at the end of the 18th century, most of them lived around today’s Prince Rupert Harbor and around the Kitselas Canyon. They divided into ten tribes. To participate in the fur trade, they were moved here, but also because the salmon met here. The large village measured about 180 by 60 m, although, as usual on the west coast, it pulled along the banks of the sea. The Tsimshian dominated the region and monopolized the trade until 1862, when a catastrophic small piesal epidemic killed around 80% of them. In the same year, William Duncan began missionary activity in nearby Metlakatla, in which he was supported by chief Ligeex. The place became the largest settlement in the region. But in 1887 the missionary moved to the US area with 800 of the 1100 parishioners and founded New Metlakatla, or the independent Native Church. Location and railway construction [ Edit | Edit the source text ] Only with the construction of a rail connection, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, did numerous non-indigenous people come to the region. Today’s place was founded by Charles M. Hays, the regional director of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTP), which completed the 4800 km long east-west connection from Winnipeg to Prince Rupert in 1914. The latter formed the western end point of the transcontinental railway line and replaced Port Essington on Skeena River as the center of the region. City rights received Prince Rupert on March 10, 1910. The founder planned the expansion of the city to the tourism center of the west coast, but he died on April 15, 1912. A road connection (after Terrace) was only created during the Second World War when US troops were used to establish a quick connection to the Al\u00ebuten, this highway is part of the Yellowhead Highway today [2] . In 1947 a cellar factory was created, and Docks for coal and grain were created, but the focus of the economic activity increasingly shifted to the raw material industry and tourism, since the fish and wood industry collapsed in the 1990s. Until then, Prince Rupert largely lived from salmon and halibut, which had great occurrence until the early 1980s. With the decline in stocks, there were conflicts between fishermen from Canada and the USA and Alaska. In July 1997, Canadian fishermen blocked the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry , the Malaspina , to protest against the American fishing methods and quantities. The United States’ coast guard maintains a base in the nearby Ketchikan. With the increasing export of raw wood to the USA, the wood also broke in, so that the number of unemployment rose and the population began to migrate. Between 1996 and 2004 the region experienced an economic low point, but in April 2005 the construction of a container port was announced, and the cruises should be intensified. The region also benefited from the boom in Asia, with Prince Rupert acting as an ex- and import port. The census in 2011 resulted in a population of 12,508 inhabitants for the small town, and thus 2.4% less than in 2006. [3] The main economic branches are the fish industry, maritime and port economy as well as tourism. The port is the most northwestern ice -free seaport of Canada. The carrier is the Prince Rupert Port Authority . There are regular ferry connections to several ports on the coast of Alaska and Canada to Vancouver. In addition, the port is the starting point of the inside passage. Prince Rupert is the starting point of the tourist long -distance train towards Prince George – Jasper. Officially, the train has not managed the train name since 2009, since almost all of the train names were canceled by via Rail Canada, but it will continue to be used in tourist marketing. The place, with change, has a connection to the rest of the North American railway network via this connection. The regional airport Prince Rupert Airport (YPR\/CYPR) is located on Digby Island. In addition, the municipality is connected to a national network of bus connections, which is operated by BC Bus North. [4] The municipality is connected to Prince Rupert – Smither’s Prince George in this network. As of 2020, a total of 34 municipalities and settlements in the central and northern British Columbia are connected in this network. Local public transport is offered locally and regionally with a connection to Port Edward by the “Prince Rupert Transit System”, which is operated by BC Transit in cooperation.
