The Ojibway people living on the north shore of Lake Superior
(ancestors of Fort William First Nation people) subsisted by hunting, fishing and
gathering. Once the development of the fur trade expanded into the area a fort was built
for trade purposes.
Fort Kaministiqua (renamed Fort William in 1821) was an early trading post built in 1678.
Representatives of the Fort William Band signed the Robinson-Superior Treaty in 1850 and a
reserve was built from the land given. The Fort William Reserve was surveyed in 1853 and
moved to its present location in 1908.
As with other large areas Fort William was the enlistment point for soldiers in the area. Current
