Melita is a town located in the southwestern corner of the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Arthur and occupies a bend of the Souris River. The population at the 2011 census was 1,069.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2011/dp-pd/prof/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo1=CSD&Code1=4605052&Geo2=CD&Code2=4605&Data=Count&SearchText=melita&SearchType=Begins&SearchPR=46&B1=All&Custom=&TABID=1 )〕 It sits at the junction of Highways 3 and 83, approx. 320 km southwest of Winnipeg. Melita is known as the "Grasslands Bird Capital of Manitoba"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.melitamb.ca/index.php?pageid=416 )〕 and is located in Manitoba's banana belt.
==History==
Evidence of First Nations habitation in the area includes the Linear Mounds Archaeological Site and the Brockinton Archaeological Site, which have provided artifacts dating back to 800 A.D.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.melitamb.ca/index.php?pageid=413 )〕 The site has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada.
Charles West was the first recorded European settler, in 1879.〔"Our First Century", Melita-Arthur History Committee, 1983〕 The early inhabitants chose the name "Melita" for the town after hearing a Bible reading ((Acts 28:1 )) about St. Paul's shipwreck on the island of Malta (Melita is an older name for the island).
