Described by the RECON project.
Fort Pelly (Coude de l'homme) (Saskatchewan) was the name of a series of Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) fur trading posts on the Assiniboine River. They were situated at a portage between the Assiniboine and Swan Rivers. They were the administrative centre of the HBC Swan River District. The fort's residents included the HBC employees and their Métis families. In 1909 the Canadian Northern Railway was built 6 miles north of Fort Pelly, and trade at the fort all but ceased, and it was abandoned in June, 1912.
