Event Details:
The HBC was part of this area from shortly after they established the first inland post at Cumberland House in 1774. HBC traders did travel along the North Saskatchewan regularly but they did not build a post at Prince Albert till almost a hundred years later and it wasn't to trade furs. Their first local operation was a farm to take advantage of the rich, river-flat soil to grow food to supply their trading posts in other areas. Later, there was a flour mill and fur trading, and other enterprises here until well into the 20th century.
