Thunder Bay, Administrative city in Northwestern Ontario, Canada
Thunder Bay extends along the northern shore of Lake Superior, functioning as the primary transportation hub for grain shipments in Northern Ontario.
The territorial development began in 1683 as a French fur trading post, later merging the cities of Port Arthur and Fort William in 1970.
The population includes Indigenous communities, Finnish, Italian, and Ukrainian groups, each maintaining their traditions through dedicated cultural centers and events.
The Thunder Bay International Airport connects to major Canadian cities while the Port of Thunder Bay handles bulk cargo transportation through Lake Superior.
Fort William Historical Park maintains North America's most extensive fur trading post reconstruction, demonstrating 1816 daily operations with period buildings.
