In 1795, Fort Edmonton became established as a trading post by the Hudson's Bay Company. The fort was named for Edmonton in London, England - the home town of HBC deputy governor, Sir James Winter Lake. The current site of Edmonton is built on the location of the fifth and final Fort Edmonton - the others having fallen into disrepair or disregard - which was founded in 1830.
