Sidney - was named by the Marquis of Lorne, Governor General of Canada, in 1881 for Sidney Austin, a correspondent for the London Graphic. The Marquis’ wife, Princess Louise was the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, and travelled to the Rockies to become acquainted with the problems encountered by homesteaders settling in the Canadian West. Sidney Austin was dispatched to chronicle their adventures in the “wild west”, tales gobbled up by audiences in “civilization”.
