Saskatoon is the largest city in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, straddling a bend in the South Saskatchewan River in the central region of the province along the Trans-Canada Yellowhead Highway. It was founded in 1882 as a Temperance colony and has since served as the cultural and economic hub of central Saskatchewan, becoming a city in 1906 with a population of 4,500. It is home to the University of Saskatchewan, the Meewasin Valley Authority, which protects the riverbank park spaces of the South Saskatchewan River, and Wanuskewin Heritage Park, a National Historic Site of Canada representing 6,000 years of First Nations history.
