About
the district:
"Fort St. James is a town and former fur trading post in
north-central British Columbia, Canada. It is located on the south-eastern shore
of Stuart Lake in the Omineca Country, at the northern terminus of Highway 27,
which connects to Highway 16 at Vanderhoof. Founded by the North West Company
explorer and fur trader Simon Fraser in 1806, it came under the management of
the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821 with the forced merger of the two battling fur
companies. Also known historically as Stuart Lake Post, it is one of British
Columbia's oldest permanent European settlements and was the administrative
centre for the Hudson's Bay Company's New Caledonia fur district. The fort,
rebuilt four times, continued as an important trading post right into the
twentieth century. Now the fort is a National Historic Site with some buildings
dating to the 1880s. The community celebrated its bicentennial in 2006 and is
incorporated as a district municipality." - from Wikipedia:
