- Fort_Gibraltar abstract "Fort Gibraltar was a fort built in 1809 by the North West Company in present-day Manitoba, Canada. In the early 19th century fur-trading was the main industry of Western Canada. Two companies had an intense competition over the trade. The first, the Hudson's Bay Company was a London, England-based organization. The second, the North West Company was based in Montreal. Hudson's Bay Company was distinctly English in its culture and flavour while the North West Company was a mix of French, Scottish and First Nations cultures.The voyageurs of the North West Company were a highly mobile group of fur traders. They established temporary encampments in the forks region that later became Winnipeg.In 1809 the North West Company built Fort Gibraltar. About half a mile north the Selkirk settlers and HBC employees built Fort Douglas which was started in 1813 and completed in 1815. There were many conflicts between the mostly Scottish employees of the HBC and the NWC employees, who were mostly French-Canadians and Métis.(see Pemmican War)On March 17, 1816, Fort Gibraltar was captured and destroyed by Colin Robertson of the HBC. Robertson was a former NWC employee who later (in 1821) became a leader of the Red River Colony. The capture was ruled illegal by British authorities and the North West Company was given permission to rebuild the fort in 1817.Before eventually amalgamating with the Hudson's Bay Company, North West Company had 97 trading posts compared to the 84 in Manitoba that flew the Hudson's Bay Company standard.On March 26, 1821, The North West Company was merged with its rival under the name of the Hudson's Bay Company.The site of the fort was designated a National Historic Site in 1924 as part of the "Forts Rouge, Garry, and Gibraltar National Historic Site of Canada".".
