 The Hudson's Bay Company   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In the 1870s, the pack route between the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) posts at Fort Edmonton and Fort Assiniboine — the main trade route to Lesser Slave Lake, the Peace River district, and the interior of British Columbia — often became impassable because of mud and swollen rivers.
In hopes of finding an alternate route to send its goods north, in the spring of 1874 the Hudson's Bay Company sent a scout to survey the terrain from Fort Edmonton to the south loop of the Athabasca River and the idea of Athabasca Landing was born.
The greatest activity at the Landing in the 1870s occurred in spring when the HBC would dispatch a clerk from Fort Edmonton to hire Métis labourers to construct a fleet of scows to ship supplies to Lesser Slave Lake and posts beyond.
