Norman Wells| Village in Inuvik Region, in the west of Northwest Territories; population (1991) 627. It stands at the western foot of the Franklin Mountains, on the Mackenzie River, 635 km/395 mi northwest of the regional capital Yellowknife. |
| Oil was discovered in the area in 1920, and during World War II, the refinery at Norman Wells was connected via the US-built ‘Canol’ pipeline with Whitehorse, in Yukon Territory. The Canol was abandoned at the end of the war, but in 1984 a new pipeline to Alberta came into operation. The hamlet of Fort Norman (population 375), a fur-trading post in the early 19th century and now home to a community of indigenous Dene people, lies 65 km/41 mi to the southeast, where the Great Bear River meets the Mackenzie. |
