Fort St. John

Few cities in British Columbia have a history as closely tied to the fur trade as Fort St. John. Founded in 1794 as a North West Company trading post, it changed locations several times before the modern community took shape on the Alaska Highway. The city lies in the agricultural Peace River country of northeastern British Columbia, where broad boreal plains and the Peace River define the regional setting. Today, Fort St. John is a service centre for energy, farming and transport, while the North Peace Cultural Centre hosts arts and performances.
