ThunderBay began a period of extraordinary growth in the era of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as a result of transcontinental railway building and the western wheat boom.
ThunderBay is represented in the Canadian Parliament by Joe Comuzzi (Liberal) and Ken Boshcoff (Liberal), and in the Ontario Legislature by Michael Gravelle (Liberal) and Bill Mauro (Liberal).
ThunderBay's name is the result of a mishandled referendum held on June 23rd, 1969 to determine the new name of the amalgamated Fort William and Port Arthur.
