Description
Gimli is a community located in the Rural Municipality of Gimli and situated on the west side of Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba.
Gimli was settled first by Canadian Icelanders and later by Icelandic immigrants. Part of a region of Manitoba known as New Iceland, Gimli has preserved Icelandic culture and language within Canada. It is home to the Icelandic Festival of Manitoba.
The Canadian Pacific Railroad reached Gimli in 1906 and soon the town and surrounding region became a tourist and vacation destination for people from Winnipeg. By the 1930s the south shore area of Gimli began to see cottages replacing farmland. With 42 miles of shoreline on Lake Winnipeg, Gimli is a popular fishing destination in summer.
