About the town:
"Battleford (2006 Population 3,685) is a town located across the North Saskatchewan River from North Battleford, in Saskatchewan, Canada. The town was founded in 1875 as a fur trading post and NWMP (Northwest Mounted Police, now Royal Canadian Mounted Police). Between 1876 and 1883, Battleford was the territorial capital of the Northwest Territories (now Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, northern Quebec, northern Ontario and the Northwest Territories) and the NWMP fort (Fort Battleford) located there played an important role in the 1885 Northwest Rebellion." - - from Wikipedia: Battleford, Saskatchewan.
