}}Digges is an unincorporated area and railway point in Census division 23 in Northern Manitoba, Canada.[1][7]

History

Digges was founded with the building of the Hudson Bay Railway in the third decade of the 20th century. When the originally intended final section line route to Port Nelson was abandoned, the construction of the new route of the final section from Amery north to Churchill, which opened in 1929, led to its founding. Digges lies on the line between the settlements of Bylot to the south and Tidal to the north, about {{convert|25|km}} south of Churchill.[7]

Transportation

Digges is the site of Digges railway station, served by the Via Rail Winnipeg–Churchill train.[8]
