Regina was the seat of government of the North-West Territories, which contained the District of Assiniboia, where Regina was located, and the current provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta. The site had been called Wascana, but was renamed to Regina (Latin for "Queen") in 1882 in honour of Queen Victoria. The name was proposed by Queen Victoria's daughter, Princess Louise, who was the wife of the Governor General of Canada, the Marquess of Lorne.
Due to its location on a treeless flat plain, Regina has few topographical features other than the small spring run-off, Wascana Creek. Early planners took advantage of such opportunity by damming the creek to create a decorative lake to the south of the central business district with a dam a block and a half west of the later elaborate 260-metre-long (850 ft) Albert Street Bridge across the new lake.
