New North Wales

New North Wales

New North Wales is an historical name for the region of Canada north west of Hudson Bay. It was named and mapped by Thomas Button in 1613. The name "New North Wales" appeared, along with its counterpart New South Wales, in Emanuel Bowen's Complete System of Geography of 1747.

Maps of the era (such as that of Samuel Dunn in 1778) show it extending along the Nunavut coast of Hudson Bay north from close to the modern border with Manitoba.
