Northwest Territories is named, appropriately enough, Northwest Territories.
It was transferred from Great Britain to Canada on July 15, 1870, the same day that Manitoba became a province.
The expansions of Manitoba's boundaries were carved out of Northwest Territories. The provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were created out of Northwest Territories. Yukon and Nunavut were also created out of Northwest Teritories.
