They chose this location near the mouth of the Columbia River to establish a base for exploring the Pacific Northwest. The fort provided shelter and protection from the harsh winter weather during their stay in the region.
When Lewis and Clark wintered at the present site of Bismarck, North Dakota, there they met Sacagawea and her husband in 1804. Toussaint Charbonneau was interviewed to interpret Hidatsa for the Lewis and Clark expedition, but Lewis and Clark (esp. Clark) were not overly impressed with him.
