Fort Garry

Fort Garry was a historic trading post established in the early 19th century in what is now Winnipeg, Manitoba. It served as a key hub for the fur trade between Indigenous peoples, traders, and explorers, functioning as a Canadian cultural and economic landmark. The fort facilitated commerce, community development, and expansion into Western Canada. Today, the site is part of the University of Manitoba's Fort Garry Campus, named to honor the area's historical significance. The name "Fort Garry" reflects its role in shaping the region's early history and ongoing development as an educational and urban center.
