Fort Resolution National Historic Site is a historical area known for the occupation of the Hudson’s Bay Company trading post. The site is in Fort Resolution on the southeastern shore of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories.
The Historic Site was established in 1989 by the Hudson’s Bay Company to begin their fur trading post with Indigenous people and other European Traders. The origin behind this historical site was the start of the fur trading industry in the Northwest Territories, where they exchanged fur or other goods for other commodities in that era.
It is the oldest documented European community in the Northwest Territories, built in 1819.
