Steinbach (/ˈstaɪnbæk/ ) is the third-largest city in the province of Manitoba, Canada, and with a population of 17,806, the largest community in the Eastman region.[3] The city, located about 58 km (36 mi) southeast of the provincial capital of Winnipeg, is bordered by the Rural Municipality of Hanover to the north, west, and south, and the Rural Municipality of La Broquerie to the east. Steinbach was first settled by Plautdietsch-speaking Mennonites from Ukraine in 1874, whose descendants continue to have a significant presence in the city today.[4] Steinbach is found on the eastern edge of the Canadian Prairies, while Sandilands Provincial Forest is a short distance east of the city.
Steinbach's economy has traditionally been focused around agriculture; however, as the regional economic hub of southeastern Manitoba, Steinbach now has a trading area population of about 50,000 people and significant employment in the financial services industry, automobile sales, tourism, retail, and manufacturing.[5] The city had a population growth of 11.1% between 2016 and 2021[6] and has gained national recognition as an immigration destination of Canada and a model for immigrant integration in the country.[7]
