Everything about Fort Reliance Northwest Territories totally explained
Fort Reliance, located on the East Arm of
Great Slave Lake,
Northwest Territories,
Canada, was erected in
1833 as a winter camp for
George Back's expedition to the Arctic Coast via the Back River, in a mission of scientific discovery and in search of the missing expedition of
John Ross. The fort consisted of a main house and smaller houses, heated with stone and clay chimneys. In
1855, the fort was rebuilt by Chief Factor James Anderson of the
Hudson's Bay Company as a winter quarters during the search for
Sir John Franklin, but it was again abandoned after one season. It wasn't a fur trading outpost although the site was later used by trappers in the
Thelon River area. In
1897, one of these trappers, Buffalo Jones, built a log cabin on the site of the old fort, incorporating one of the stone chimneys. The old site was recognized as an important archaeological resource for the Northwest Territories, and in
1986 the old chimneys were rehabilitated and is now protected as a historic site.
