The first Fort Edmonton was built closer to where the city of Fort Saskatchewan is now. We love our city as it stands today, but did you know that it started as a wooden fort, built by The Hudson’s Bay Company, as a base for trading in the area? The original fort was moved 5 different times due to changes with different First Nations communities, to make it easier to trade goods.

The Indigenous Peoples of this territory whom we currently refer to as Aboriginals are made up of the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Blackfoot (First Nations), as well as Métis, and Inuit.
