is the major city in the southern third of the Canadian province of s (1,893 ft)
Above Mean Sea Level .
Regina is the commercial centre of southern Saskatchewan and a cultural metropole for both southern Saskatchewan and adjacent areas in the neighbouring American states of
North Dakota and
Montana , attracting numerous visitors for the relative vitality of its commerce, theatre, concerts and restaurants.
Regina was established in 1882 when it became clear that
Edgar Dewdney , the lieutenant-governor of the North-West Territories eschewed the previously-established and -considered
Battleford ,
Qu'Appelle and
Fort Qu'Appelle as the territorial headquarters. Dewdney had acquired land adjacent to the route of the future CPR line at "Pile of Bones," a site distinguished by collections of bison bones near a small spring run-off creek, some two to three kilometres downstream from its origin in the midst of what are now wheat fields. This obviously constituted an improper private interest of Dewdney's in promoting the otherwise improbable site of Pile-of-Bones as the territorial headquarters, but until 1896 when responsible government was accomplished, the territorial lieutenant-governor and council governed by fiat and there was little legitimate means of challenging such decisions.
The village (named Regina in 1882 after the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria or Victoria Regina) attained national prominence in 1885 during the
North-West Rebellion despite the fact that the
Canadian Pacific Railway had still only reached the formerly designated territorial headquarters of Troy (
Qu'Appelle ) some 30 miles to the east, which became the marshalling point to the northwest for troops arriving from eastern Canada by train. Subsequently, the rebellion's leader,
Louis Riel , was tried and hanged in Regina — giving the infant community increased and, at the time, not-unwelcome prominence in connection with a figure of significance in Western Canada's history.
Regina was incorporated as a city on
June 19 ,
1903 and was proclaimed the capital of the province of Saskatchewan on
May 23 ,
1906 by the first provincial government, led by
Premier Walter Scott .
