History Moose Jaw
Cree and Assiniboine people used the Moose Jaw area as a winter encampment. The Missouri Coteau sheltered the
valley and gave it warm breezes. The narrow river crossing and abundance of water and game made it a good
location for settlement. Traditional native fur traders and Métis buffalo hunters created the first permanent

settlement at a place called "the turn", at present-day Kingsway Park.

The confluence of the Moose Jaw River and Thunder Creek was chosen and registered in 1881 as a site for a Country Canada
division point for the Canadian Pacific Railway, whose construction was significant in the Confederation of Province Saskatchewan

capacity concrete grain terminals are replacing the smaller grain elevators which were numerous along the highway, sentinels of most communities along the route.
Improved technology for harvest, transport and road construction have made the large inland terminals more viable economically.[32] The rural governing body
around Moose Jaw is Moose Jaw No. 161 which serves 1,228 residents (2006 census) which includes the Moose Jaw,
Canadian Forces Base. Meat-processing plants, salt, potash, urea fertilizer, anhydrous ammonia and ethanol producers

In 1917, a group of local residents banded together and purchased enough automobile parts to build 25 cars. These were
to be manufactured under the name Moose Jaw Standard. Each member of the group was able to receive a car, but no
further buyers were found, and production did not continue.[34]

Tunnels of Moose Jaw

A network of underground tunnels connecting buildings in downtown Moose Jaw was constructed beginning around 1908. They were originally built as an
underground steam system that was abandoned. The tunnels were used to hide Chinese railway workers escaping persecution during the Yellow Peril or unable to
pay the government-imposed head tax. Entire families lived in the tunnels and worked at above-ground businesses in exchange for food and supplies. The tunnels
became a hub of renewed activity in the 1920s for rum-running during Prohibition in the United States. They were reported to have warehoused illegal alcohol that
was then shipped to the U.S. via the Soo Line Railroad. The tunnels were also used for gambling and prostitution, all without interference from the corrupt police
chief.[38] There has long been anecdotal evidence American mobster Al Capone had visited Moose Jaw or had interests in the bootlegging operations. Although no
written or photographic proof exists of Capone's presence, several firsthand accounts from people in Moose Jaw who claim to have met him have been
documented.[39] Capone's grandniece also confirmed he had been in Moose Jaw prior to his 1931 conviction for tax evasion.[40] In the 21st century, the city
capitalized on this notoriety to restore the tunnel network into the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, a tourist attraction that opened in June 2000.[41]

Like most Canadian cities, hockey has played a large part of Moose Jaw's sporting culture, yet baseball has also been an important part of Moose Jaw since its first

first team from Saskatchewan to win a game at the Little League World Series.
