Fort Carlton was an important hub for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC)
from 1810 - 1885. Located on the North Saskatchewan River and with
easy access by land, this site was an ideal place to warehouse goods
and gather provisions for other posts. An important negotiation site
for Treaty Six in 1876, Fort Carlton was accidently burned down during
a hasty evacuation that took place during the Northwest Resistance of
1885.
