The year Winnipeg became a city, it was marked by a handful of clapboard buildings and wood-plank sidewalks that flanked mud roads.
When soaked by prairie rains, the roads morphed into a thick sludge that ravaged cart wheels and footwear.
Persistent rains carved gullies that drained into the Red and Assiniboine rivers, but also several creeks and coulees that no longer exist -including one that scuttled the first city hall.
When the Manitoba Legislature passed the act that officially made Winnipeg a city on Nov. 8, 1873, there were just 1,869 residents.
