Fort Fraser

This article is about the place in British Columbia. For other meanings, see Fort Fraser (disambiguation). Fort Fraser is a community of about 1000 people, situated near the base of Mount Fraser, close to both Fraser Lake and the Nechako River. It can be found near the geographical centre of British Columbia, Canada, 44 km west of Vanderhoof on the Yellowhead Highway. Originally established in 1806 as a North West Company fur trading post by the explorer Simon Fraser, it is one of present-day British Columbia's oldest permanent European-founded settlements. The area around the community is also recorded as the site of the first land in British Columbia cultivated by non-First Nations people.
