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

History

Thibaudeau 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. Thibaudeau lies on the line between the settlements of Lawledge to the south and Silcox to the north.

Transportation

Thibaudeau is the site of Thibaudeau railway station, served by the Via Rail Winnipeg – Churchill train.
