Fort St. James has a rich history rooted in the early fur trade and Indigenous culture. The area has long been home to the Dakelh (Carrier) First Nations, who lived along Stuart Lake for thousands of years before European contact. In 1806, Simon Fraser established Fort St. James as a North West Company trading post, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied European settlements in British Columbia. The fort later became a key Hudson’s Bay Company post and an important supply and administrative centre for the central interior.
Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Fort St. James played a central role in regional trade, transportation, and governance, especially during the gold rush era. As river travel declined, the community adapted through forestry, agriculture, and later resource-based industries. Today, Fort St. James is recognized as a National Historic Site, preserving its fur-trade buildings and history, while continuing to function as a modern rural community with strong ties to its Indigenous heritage and northern roots.
