What is the name of the northernmost territorial capital in Canada?

Answer 1

Whitehorse is the current capital, having taken it from Dawson City in 1953. The settlement of Whitehorse has existed by that name since 1887, having taken its name from the nearby rapids, the water of which looked like the flowing manes of white horses.

Answer 2

The semi-autonomous region of Nunavut, the newest territorial jurisdiction of Canada, has very few major population centers and so, not surprisingly, the largest city is also the capital, Iqaluit. Iqaluit (pronounced 'ee-KAL-oo-it') was called Frobisher Bay for most of its history, but the name was changed to a more aboriginal name in 1987. It's population is under ten thousand and it's located on the southern end of Baffin Island, Canada's largest island.

Answer 3

Well, the Northernmost Territory in Canada is Nunavut, so the capital must be Iqaluit.
