A spot exists in the United States where four states come together at a common point. Naturally they call it the Four Corners<\/a>. A paved road goes right up to it and for a modest admission fee, visitors can touch four states simultaneously. Then they can take pictures and shop for Navajo crafts set up among several booths around the perimeter. Fewer people know, perhaps even Canadians themselves, that Canada also has a Four Corners as of April 1, 1999. It’s a lot less accessible that its U.S. counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that date, Canada’s newest and largest territory officially arose through the Nunavut Act and the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act. Nunavut split from the Northwest Territories and became the first significant change to the Canadian map since 1949. Thus the newly created Canadian Four Corners marks a common border point for Nunavut, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
