Population trajectory across census years
| Year | Population |
|---|---|
| 1891 | 1,641 |
| 1901 | 3,008 |
Cross-year identity established by spatial polygon overlap (SAME_AS chains across the Canadian Census Subdivision boundary files).
Boundary continuity (non-identical overlaps)
Spatial polygon overlaps with adjacent census years where the boundary shifted enough that the SAME_AS chain didn't merge them. These show where the territory came from and went to even when it isn't tracked as the same persistent place.
Earlier boundary forms
- In an earlier year, this CSD was contained in Gimli, 1891 (31.0% share).
Later boundary forms
- In a later year, this CSD contained Gimli, VL, 1911 (0.1% of this CSD's polygon).
