Fort Qu'Appelle
This Hudson's Bay Company Fort, established in 1864, superseded a wintering post operated in the vicinity for over a decade. Important for its trade in furs and for the collection and shipment of pemmican, Fort Qu'Appelle was the focal point of a network of prairie trails. Site of the negotiations for Indian Treaty No.4 (1874), and a temporary camp of the Canadian Militia of General Middleton's command in 1885. Trading on this site ended in 1897 when a new store was constructed in the thriving community which had sprung up about the fort.
