When the Europeans arrived in the 17th Century, the local Indians called this site "Animikie", which translates as "Thunder." It was the French Couriers des bois, who travelled the region transporting furs and goods who would refer to the area between the Sibley Penninula and the North shore of Superior as Baie de Tonnaire, or "Thunder Bay".
