Described by the MSTRSLID project.
Fort Garry was established in 1822 as a Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) trading post at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in what is now Winnipeg. Fort Garry served as the centre of fur trade within the Red River Colony. It was renamed Upper Fort Garry in 1835 to differentiate it from "the Lower Fort," or Lower Fort Garry, established in 1831. Upper Fort Garry was central to the administration of the HBC and the surrounding settlement. The Council of Assiniboia, the administrative and judicial body of the Red River Colony met at Upper Fort Garry. The fort was seized by Louis Riel and his Métis followers during the Red River Rebellion (Red River Resistance). Most of the fort was demolished in 1881-1884.
Fort Ellice (Manitoba) was a Hudson's Bay Company trading post built in 1831 near the junction of the Assiniboine and Qu'Appelle rivers. It was a stopping point on the Carlton Trail, which ran from the Red River Colony to Fort Edmonton. The section between Upper Fort Garry and Fort Ellice was known as the Fort Ellice Trail. The 1831 trading post was replaced in 1862 by another structure approximately 2 km east of the original site. The 1862 fort also acted as a staging point for part of the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) force from Fort Dufferin (Manitoba) when it headed west in 1874 to establish law and order. The fort acted as an NWMP post beginning in 1875.
