Churchill

Town in the province of Manitoba, Canada, situated on Hudson Bay; population (1991) 1,143. Although the port is ice-free only three months a year, Churchill handles about 500,000 tonnes of grain annually, as well as fuel oil and bulk cargo. It is a major centre for Arctic research, health programmes, and education. The Hudson's Bay Company established a post here and named it for Lord Churchill (later 1st duke of Marlborough).

There is a modern airport here. Railway and harbour facilities were completed in 1931. A military base was established in World War II, and it continued as a rocket-launching site until the early 1960s.
