Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories, was founded during the gold rush in the early 20th century. The discovery of gold in the area in 1934 led to the establishment of the town, which was initially a mining camp. It was named after the Yellowknife River, which itself was named after the indigenous Yellowknives Dene people. The community quickly grew as prospectors and miners flocked to the region seeking fortune.
