Nipawin

Nipawin is a town in north-east Saskatchewan, Canada, on the Saskatchewan River portion of Tobin Lake. The town lies between Codette Lake, made by the Francois-Finlay Dam and Tobin Lake, made by the E.B. Campbell Dam worked in 1963, renamed from Squaw Rapids. The development of Francois-Finlay Dam earned Nipawin the moniker, The Town of Two Lakes. Nipawin is circumscribed by the Rural Municipality of Nipawin No. 487 and the Rural Municipality of Torch River No. 488.

Interstate 35 and Highway 55 cross in Nipawin. The Nipawin Airport and the Nipawin Water Aerodrome likewise serve the network. Nipawin is a Cree word signifying "a bed, or resting place" which alluded to a low-lying zone along the waterway presently overwhelmed by Codette Lake where First Nations ladies and youngsters would camp and sit tight for the men to arrive. The principal perpetual settlement of Nipawin happened in 1910 with the foundation of an exchanging post.

In 1924 the Canadian Pacific Railway ignored close-by the Crooked Bridge, and the settlement was moved, working by working, to its present area to be nearer to the railroad. The town is home to the Nipawin Campus of Cumberland College with 360 understudies and Nipawin Bible College with 48 understudies.
