Commemorative Intent
the Committee confirmed that Fort Edmonton III was designated a national historic site in 1959 because:
• it was, after 1825, the most important depot in the trade system between Fort Garry and Fort Vancouver, linking the Saskatchewan, Athabasca and Columbia rivers and the Pacific Ocean.
