Located in Western Canada, Winnipeg plays a prominent role in transportation, finance, manufacturing, agriculture and education. It is known as the "Gateway to the West". In 1738, the first trading post was built, Fort Rouge, but it was later abandoned. Fort Gibraltar, a post of the North West Company on the site of present-day Winnipeg, was renamed Fort Garry in 1822 and became the leading post in the region. Winnipeg was the site of the Red River Rebellion, a conflict between the local Métis people led by Louis Riel and newcomers from eastern Canada. This rebellion led directly to the entry of Manitoba into Confederation as Canada's fifth province in 1870. On November 8, 1873, Winnipeg was incorporated as a city. Major economic contributors to Winnipeg include manufacturing companies such as: Palliser Furniture, New Flyer, and Pollard Banknote. Education institutions like The University on Manitoba attract students from all over the world, and agricultural contributors include The Canadian Wheat Board and Argicore United.
