Yukon Territory

The boundaries of the Yukon Territory were changed in 1901. When the territory was created, in 1898, the 1895 boundaries had been used. It was now necessary to include the change, made in 1897, which extended the boundary to include islands twenty miles from the coast. The boundary was also extended eastward to include most of the watershed of the Peel River.

The animation Territorial Evolution 1867 to 1999 shows sequentially the history of the political boundary changes in Canada from Confederation to the creation of Nunavut.
