'''Yellowknife'''
Yellowknife and its surrounding water bodies were named after a local [[Dene]] tribe, who were known as the "Copper Indians" or "Yellowknife Indians", today incorporated as the [[Yellowknives Dene First Nation]]. They traded tools made from [[copper]] deposits near the Arctic Coast.
The city's population, which is ethnically mixed, was 20,340 per the [[2021 Canadian Census]].<ref name=2021census/><ref name=2021popcentYZF/> Of the eleven official languages of the Northwest Territories, five are spoken in significant numbers in Yellowknife: [[Chipewyan language|Dene Suline]], [[Dogrib language|Dogrib]], [[Slavey language|South and North Slavey]], English, and French. In the Dogrib language, the city is known as ''Sǫǫ̀mbak’è'' ({{IPA The Yellowknife settlement is considered to have been founded in 1934,<ref name="about">{{cite web|url=http://www.yellowknife.ca/en/discovering-yellowknife/about-yellowknife.asp|title=About Yellowknife|website=www.yellowknife.ca|access-date=28 August 2015|archive-date=29 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160529091646/https://www.yellowknife.ca/en/discovering-yellowknife/about-yellowknife.asp|url-status=dead}}</ref> after [[gold]] was found in the area, although commercial activity in the present-day waterfront area did not begin until 1936. Yellowknife quickly became the centre of economic activity in the NWT, and was named the capital of the Northwest Territories in 1967. As gold production began to wane, Yellowknife shifted from being a [[mining]] town to a centre of government services in the 1980s.

== History ==
{{Further|Timeline of Yellowknife history}}
The area around the community is the historic and traditional home of the [[Yellowknives]] Dene, the land's [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] residents. [[Dettah]] was the first formal settlement in the area, which was founded by the Yellowknives in the 1930s and located on a point of land on the east side of Yellowknife Bay.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atns.net.au/agreement.asp?EntityID=2323|title=Agreements, Treaties, and Negotiated Settlements Project|publisher=Indigenous Studies Program, The University of Melbourne|access-date=22 February 2008|df=dmy-all|archive-date=12 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180512100246/http://atns.net.au/agreement.asp?EntityID=2323 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The name Dettah means Burnt Point and refers to a traditional fishing camp that the Dene used for
A [[Klondike, Yukon|Klondike]]-bound prospector, E.A. Blakeney, made the first discovery of gold in the Yellowknife Bay area in 1898. The discovery was viewed as unimportant in those days because of the [[Klondike Gold Rush]] and because Great Slave Lake was too far away to attract attention.<ref name="price">Price, Ray. ''Yellowknife'', Peter Martin Associates, [[Toronto]], 1967. Page 22.</ref>

[[File:Yellowknife, 1932 - N-1986-015-0013.jpg|thumb|left|Yellowknife from Back Bay. In the 1930s, the area was home to a number of [[prospectors]].]]
The following year, Johnny Baker returned as part of a larger crew to develop the previous gold finds and search for more. Gold was found on the east side of Yellowknife Bay in 1934 and the short-lived [[Burwash Mine]] was developed. When government geologists uncovered gold in more favourable geology on the west side of Yellowknife Bay in the fall of 1935, a small staking rush occurred.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwnhc.learnnet.nt.ca/timeline/1925/1935_Jolliffe.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061018033321/http://pwnhc.learnnet.nt.ca/timeline/1925/1935_Jolliffe.htm|url-status=dead |archive-date=18 October 2006|title=Northwest Territories Timeline – Dr. Alfred Joliffe, Geological Survey of Canada|publisher=Prince of Whales Northern Heritage Centre|access-date=23 January 2008|df=dmy-all}}</ref> From 1935 to 1937, one prospector and trapper named Winslow C. Ranney staked in the area between David Lake and Rater Lake with few commercial results. The nearby hill known as [[Ranney Hill]] is his namesake and a popular hiking destination today. [[Con Mine]] was the most impressive gold deposit and its development created the excitement that led to the first settlement of Yellowknife in 1936–1937. Some of the first businesses were Corona Inn, [[Weaver & Devore Trading]], Yellowknife Supplies and post office, and [[The Wildcat Cafe]]. Con Mine entered production on 5 September 1938. Yellowknife boomed in the summer of 1938 and many new businesses were established, including the [[Canadian Bank of Commerce]], [[Hudson's Bay Company]], Vic Ingraham's first hotel,
The population of Yellowknife quickly grew to 1,000 by 1940, and by 1942, five gold mines were in production in the Yellowknife region. However, by 1944, gold production had ground to a halt as men were needed for [[Military history of Canada during World War II|the war effort]]. An exploration program at the [[Giant Mine]] property on the north end of town had suggested a sizable gold deposit in 1944. This new find resulted in a massive post-war staking rush to Yellowknife.<ref name="decoursey">Decoursey, Duke. ''The Yellowknife Years'', Parkview Publishing, Squamish, BC. p. 112.</ref> It also resulted in new discoveries at the Con Mine, greatly extending the life of the mine. The Yellowknife townsite expanded from the Old Town waterfront, and the new townsite was established during 1945–1946. The [[Discovery Mine]], with its own townsite, operated {{cvt|81|km}} to the north-northeast of Yellowknife from 1950 to 1969.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwnhc.learnnet.nt.ca/timeline/1925/1944_NormByrne.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061018143923/http://pwnhc.learnnet.nt.ca/timeline/1925/1944_NormByrne.htm|url-status=dead |archive-date=18 October 2006|title=Northwest Territories Timeline – Discovery Mine|publisher=Prince of Whales Northern Heritage Centre|access-date=23 January 2008|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
[[File:Yellowknife in 40s-50s.jpg|thumb|left|Mid 20th-century Yellowknife; the community was incorporated as a municipality in 1953.]]
Between 1939 and 1953, [[Yellowknife (administrative district)|Yellowknife Administration district]] was controlled by the [[Crown–Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada|Northern Affairs department]] (now Crown–Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada) of the [[Government of Canada]]. A small council, partially elected and partially appointed, made decisions. By 1953, Yellowknife had grown so much that it was made a municipality, with its own council and town hall. The first mayor of Yellowknife was [[Jock McNiven]]. In September 1967, Yellowknife officially became the [[History of Northwest Territories capital cities|capital of the Northwest Territories]]. This important new status sparked what has been coined as the third boom in Yellowknife. New sub-divisions were established to house an influx of government workers.<ref name=incorporation>{{cite web|url=
