General note:

Fort Douglas was of the Hudson's Bay Company's first trading post in what is today Winnipeg. It was built by Scottish and Irish settlers in 1812 down river of the North West Company's (NWC) Fort Gibraltar.
During the conflict between the Hudson's Bay Company and the NWC, the fort was burned twice by the Métis and employees of the NWC and rebuilt. After the union of 1821, the Hudson's Bay Company occupied Fort Gibraltar and renamed it Fort Garry. Fort Douglas remained the residence of the Governor of the settlement until it was destroyed in the flood of 1826.
