Situated 50 kilometres (32 mi) north of Brandon, Manitoba on the Little Saskatchewan River. The town's name means "flowing water" in the Dakota language. The population of Minnedosa reported in the 2006 Statistics Canada Census was 2,474.[2] The town is located in the Rural Municipality of Minto and bordered to the south by the Rural Municipality of Odanah.

He was an American settler who arrived in the area in 1869.[6] The younger Tanner was the first Métis settler in the area and ran a ferry service across the Little Saskatchewan River. When a bridge was built in 1879, the ferry became obsolete and at the same time, a small town, Tanner's Crossing, was started nearby. John Armitage moved to the area around this time in 1877, and began to build a sawmill and gristmill. He joined together with Tanner to lay out a new town site and eventually Armitage had accumulated {{convert|3800|acre|km2}} of property.[6] Tanner named the new town Minnedosa, from the Dakota word mnidúza meaning "flowing water".[6] Although Minnedosa once hoped to be a site of a river crossing for the Canadian Pacific Railway's transcontinental railway, the honour was initially given to Rapid City, while the actual site of the railway was later settled on a site much further south creating the city of Brandon.[7] In 1883 Minnedosa was incorporated as a town, it had experienced a period of growth from settlement schemes put forth by the Canadian government.[6] As Minnedosa became a town, this coincided with the actual arrival of the railway in 1883, bringing about more growth for the now quickly growing settlement. A dam was proposed in 1907 and approved in December of the same year by the Government of Canada. It was built on the Little Saskatchewan River near the town. After several delays, the dam was completed in 1912, creating Minnedosa Lake. Water first flowed over the spillway on April 10, 1912. Minnedosa was the second community in the Province of Manitoba to generate its own hydroelectric power.[6] An earlier project in 1900 was also on the Minnedosa River and supplied power to the town of Brandon, Manitoba. Initially privately owned, the generation plant was taken over by the Manitoba Power Commission in 1920 and replaced by a diesel generation plant and by 1930, power from the provincial grid. The lake was used as a source of water for the town, for recreation, and for supplying the engines of the Canadian Pacific Railway.[6] On May 4, 1948 the spillway of the dam failed due to erosion of structure, and the resulting flood damaged many homes and businesses in the town. The spillway was not repaired until 1950 by the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration.[8] Since 1981 the Minnedosa Ethanol Plant has been producing ethanol to be blended into gasoline, as of late 2007 it has been expanded into one of the largest ethanol facilities in Canada. This plant is owned and operated by Husky Energy.[9] ClimateMinnedosa has a humid continental climate (Köppen dfb) typical of southern Manitoba. As a result of its far inland position at a relatively high latitude, winters are extremely cold with a January mean of below {{convert|−17|C|F}}. In the relatively short summers Minnedosa experiences warm and sometimes hot temperatures due to warmer continental air masses. It is prone to cold nights year-round, with every single month having recorded air frost. {{Weather box|location = Minnedosa, Manitoba |collapsed = |metric first = y |single line = y |Jan record high C = 9.4 |Feb record high C = 11.1 |Mar record high C = 24.4 |Apr record high C = 34.0 |May record high C = 36.0 |Jun record high C = 42.2 |Jul record high C = 41.7 |Aug record high C = 39.4 |Sep record high C = 36.1 |Oct record high C = 31.0 |Nov record high C = 19.4 |Dec record high C = 12.2 |year record high C = 42.2 |Jan high C = −11.3 |Feb high C = −7.3 |Mar high C = −1.0 |Apr high C = 8.8 |May high C = 17.0 |Jun high C = 21.7 |Jul high C = 24.0 |Aug high C = 24.0 |Sep high C = 17.1 |Oct high C = 9.0 |Nov high C = −2.3 |Dec high C = −9.6 |year high C = 7.5 |Jan mean C = −17.3 |Feb mean C = −13.2 |Mar mean C = −6.6 |Apr mean C = 2.3 |May mean C = 9.8 |Jun mean C = 15.1 |Jul mean C = 17.3 |Aug mean C = 16.8 |Sep mean C = 10.5 |Oct mean C = 3.2 |Nov mean C = −7.1 |Dec mean C = −15.0 |year mean C = 1.3 |Jan low C = −23.1 |Feb low C = −19.1 |Mar low C = −12.3 |Apr low C = −4.2 |May low C = 2.7 |Jun low C = 8.5 |Jul low C = 10.6 |Aug low C = 9.5 |Sep low C = 3.7 |Oct low C = −2.7 |Nov low C = −11.8 |Dec low C = −20.8 |year low C = −4.9 |Jan record low C = −46.7 |Feb record low C = −46.7 |Mar record low C = −42.2 |Apr record low C = −29.4 |May record low C = −16.0 |Jun record low C = −5.6 |Jul record low C = −1.0 |Aug record low C = −4.4 |Sep record low C = −14.4 |Oct record low C = −25.0 |Nov record low C = −38.3 |Dec record low C = −43.9 |year record low C = −46.7 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 23.2 |Feb precipitation mm = 16.7 |Mar precipitation mm = 27.0 |Apr precipitation mm = 29.5 |May precipitation mm = 59.0 |Jun precipitation mm = 76.7 |Jul precipitation mm = 81.5 |Aug precipitation mm = 69.6 |Sep precipitation mm = 47.8 |Oct precipitation mm = 34.3 |Nov precipitation mm = 18.6 |Dec precipitation mm = 21.0 |year precipitation mm = 504.8 |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 0.1 |Feb rain mm = 0.4 |Mar rain mm = 8.8 |Apr rain mm = 20.6 |May rain mm = 57.7 |Jun rain mm = 76.7 |Jul rain mm = 81.5 |Aug rain mm = 69.6 |Sep rain mm = 47.8 |Oct rain mm = 27.4 |Nov rain mm = 2.6 |Dec rain mm = 1.4 |year rain mm = 394.4 |Jan snow cm = 23.1 |Feb snow cm = 16.2 |Mar snow cm = 18.2 |Apr snow cm = 8.9 |May snow cm = 1.3 |Jun snow cm = 0.0 |Jul snow cm = 0.0 |Aug snow cm = 0.0 |Sep snow cm = 0.0 |Oct snow cm = 7.0 |Nov snow cm = 16.0 |Dec snow cm = 19.6 |year snow cm = 110.4 |unit precipitation days= 0.2 mm |Jan precipitation days= 7.6 |Feb precipitation days= 5.4 |Mar precipitation days= 7.1 |Apr precipitation days= 6.2 |May precipitation days= 9.4 |Jun precipitation days= 12.6 |Jul precipitation days= 11.6 |Aug precipitation days= 10.6 |Sep precipitation days= 8.3 |Oct precipitation days= 7.6 |Nov precipitation days= 6.1 |Dec precipitation days= 6.9 |year precipitation days= 99.3 |source 1 = Environment Canada[10] |date=February 2017 }} Tourist sites
