1790 - Data Points by Date/Period

In 1757, a fur trading post was established in the Hudson Bay District near the Red Deer River, with ruins of this post found close to Erwood. By 1790, the North West Trading Company set up another trading post at the mouth of the Etomami River. There are speculations that a South Company post was established at the opposite mouth of the river, where remains of a second post are still unaccounted for.As the settlement developed, an application was made in July 1907 to establish Etomami as a village. The name Etomami, derived from a native word, means 'a place where three rivers join.' To form a hamlet, fifteen occupied dwelling houses were required, and by August, the necessary list was completed. The village was formally established with Mr. B.F. Noble serving as its first overseer. The post office was also set up at this time on Churchill Street, near the current location of Pharmasave. In 1909, the Canadian Northern Railway Company renamed the settlement Hudson Bay Junction, and the name was later shortened to Hudson Bay in 1947.In its early years, the village faced numerous challenges and was even considered for disorganization at one point. However, it gradually improved and was incorporated as a town in 1946. During its early years, Hudson Bay introduced parking meters on Churchill Street in 1958, though these have since been removed. The town briefly switched to Mountain Standard Time in 1958 but reverted to Central Standard Time within two months.Today, Hudson Bay remains a significant junction with railways running in three directions and highways in all four directions, surrounded by rivers. Despite many changes over time, the town retains its warmth, friendliness, and pioneering spirit. Visitors can explore part of Hudson Bay’s history at the local Museum on Churchill Street or at the Heritage Park at the corner of Highway 3 and Highway 9.

Hudson Bay is a town located in the east-central region of Saskatchewan, Canada, approximately 49 kilometers (30 miles) west of the Manitoba border. It is surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Hudson Bay No. 394.In 1757, the Hudson's Bay Company established a fur trading post in the Hudson Bay District near the Red Deer River, with ruins of this post found near the village of Erwood. In 1790, the North West Trading Company established a trading post at the mouth of the Etomami River, named Fort Red Deer River. Speculation suggests a South Company's post was established at the opposite mouth of the river, though remains of this second post are unaccounted for.The settlement grew over time, and in July 1907, an application was made to designate Etomami as a village. 'Etomami' is a First Nations word meaning 'a place where three rivers join.' The village was officially formed by August after fulfilling the requirement of fifteen occupied dwelling houses. Mr. B.F. Noble became the village's first overseer, and a post office was established at 100 Churchill Street. In 1909, the Canadian Northern Railway Company renamed the settlement Hudson Bay Junction, and the name was later shortened to Hudson Bay in 1947.In its early years, the village faced various challenges, including suggestions to disband it. However, it gradually improved and was incorporated as a town in 1946. In 1958, the town introduced parking meters on Churchill Street, which have since been removed. That same year, the town switched to Mountain Standard Time but quickly reverted to Central Standard Time.The Hudson Bay School Building, constructed in 1910 as a four-room schoolhouse in a Georgian Classicism/American Colonial style, is a registered municipal heritage property and now houses the Hudson Bay Museum.According to the 2021 Census of Population by Statistics Canada, Hudson Bay had a population of 1,403 residing in 693 of its 782 total private dwellings, reflecting a decrease of 2.3% from the 2016 population of 1,436. The town has a land area of 17.38 square kilometers (6.71 square miles) and a population density of 80.7 people per square kilometer (209.1 people per square mile).

Nipawin is a town in Saskatchewan, Canada, located on the Saskatchewan River at Tobin Lake. Positioned between Codette Lake, formed by the Francois-Finlay Dam (1986), and Tobin Lake, created by the E.B. Campbell Dam (1963, formerly Squaw Rapids), Nipawin earned the nickname 'Town of Two Lakes' due to the dams' impact.The town is bordered by the Rural Municipality of Nipawin No. 487 and the Rural Municipality of Torch River No. 488, the latter across the Saskatchewan River. Highway 35 and Highway 55 intersect in Nipawin, which is also served by Nipawin Airport and the Nipawin Water Aerodrome.The name 'Nipawin' comes from a Cree word meaning 'a bed, or resting place,' referring to a low-lying area along the river now covered by Codette Lake, where First Nations women and children camped while waiting for the men. The first permanent settlement began in 1910 with a trading post. In 1924, the Canadian Pacific Railway passed nearby over the Crooked Bridge, leading to the relocation of the settlement closer to the railway.Historically, several fur trading posts were established in the area, including those by Joseph Smith in 1763, James Finlay in 1768, François le Blanc, William Thorburn in 1790, and others operated by A. N. McLeod and James Porter in 1795.On April 18, 2008, a downtown meat shop explosion destroyed three buildings and damaged several others, killing two people and injuring five. The explosion, caused by a backhoe striking a natural gas riser, led to a state of emergency and extensive national news coverage.As of the 2021 Census, Nipawin had a population of 4,570, an increase of 3.8% from 2016. With a land area of 8.93 km² (3.45 sq mi), its population density was 511.8/km² (1,325.4/sq mi).

The Brukenthal National Museum, situated in Sibiu, Transylvania, Romania, was founded in the late 18th century by Samuel von Brukenthal (1721-1803) within his urban palace. Baron Brukenthal, who governed the Grand Principality of Transylvania, initiated his initial collections around 1790. These collections were officially accessible to the public in 1817, establishing the museum as the oldest of its kind within present-day Romania. Presently, expanded into a comprehensive institution, the museum complex encompasses six museums. Though not distinct administrative entities, these museums are spread across various city locations and offer diverse cultural programs. The Art Galleries, situated within the Brukenthal Palace, feature approximately 1,200 artworks from major European painting schools spanning the 15th to the 18th century. These encompass Flemish-Dutch, German, Austrian, Italian, Spanish, and French schools. The Galleries also house collections of engravings, books, numismatics, and minerals.

A temporary palace, called haenggung in Korean, refers to the temporary residence used by a king when he was not at the main palace in the royal capital. During the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), temporary palaces were built in many parts of the country, including Namhansanseong Fortress, where the royal family once took refuge during a war, and in Asan, where kings traveled to enjoy hot springs. This temporary palace was built by King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800). In 1789, King Jeongjo moved his father Crown Prince Sado's tomb from today's Hwigyeong-dong, Seoul to Hwaseong, and he needed a place to stay nearby when he visited to pay his respects. So, he had this temporary palace constructed. It was completed the following year, in 1790. When Hwaseong Fortress was constructed from 1794 to 1796, the temporary palace was significantly expanded. In 1795, King Jeongjo held a splendid royal banquet here to celebrate the 60th birthday of his mother, Lady Hyegyeong. When the king was not visiting, the temporary palace also functioned as the local government office for the Suwon area. King Jeongjo planned to retire to this temporary palace after abdicating the throne, and it was therefore built in a grand scale similar to the palaces in the royal capital. It was thus the largest temporary palace in all of Joseon. In the early 20th century, all of the buildings, except Nangnamheon and Noraedang Halls, were demolished to build a provincial hospital on the site. The palace was reconstructed between 1996 and 2002.

The 82.5 meter long, 25 meter wide Namcheon Bridge connecting Hanok Village in Gyo-dong with Seohak-dong is located at the upper reaches of Jeonju Stream. It was built as a stone arched bridge with 5 span length in 1790 (14th year of King Jeongjo's reign) and has been known as the most beautiful bridge in Jeonju. As there are five arches, it was also called 'angyeongdari' (bridge of glasses). Following several reconstructions, the bridge was newly established in December 2009. Namcheon Bridge became a popular attraction in Jeonju as Korea's only arched bridge with a half-hipped roof. Spanning 30 kilometers, Jeonju Stream is a local class 1 stream that flows from the southeast to Jeonju to the northwest. Before the implementation of the natural stream construction project, the stream was severely polluted, so it was practically uninhabited. Thanks to the ecosystem restoration project performed with investment of KRW 11 billion for five years from 1998 to 2002, however, the stream now has high quality water that is close to class 1 clean water.
