  • Fort Garry, also known as Upper Fort Garry, was a Hudson's Bay Company trading post at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in what is now downtown Winnipeg. It was established in 1822 on or near the site of the North West Company's Fort Gibraltar established by John Wills in 1810 and destroyed by Governor Semple's men in 1816 during the Pemmican War. Fort Garry was named after Nicholas Garry, deputy governor of the Hudson's Bay Company. It served as the centre of fur trade within the Red River Colony. In 1826, a severe flood destroyed the fort. It was rebuilt in 1835 by the HBC and named Upper Fort Garry to differentiate it from "the Lower Fort," or Lower Fort Garry, 32 km downriver, which was established in 1831. Throughout the mid-to-late 19th century, Upper Fort Garry played a minor role in the actual trading of furs, but was central to the administration of the HBC and the surrounding settlement. The Council of Assiniboia, the administrative and judicial body of the Red River Colony mainly run by Hudson's Bay Company officials, met at Upper Fort Garry. In 1869, the Hudson's Bay Company agreed to surrender its monopoly in the North-West, including Upper Fort Garry. In late 1869 and early 1870, the fort was seized by Louis Riel and his Métis followers during the Red River Rebellion. After the Rebellion, the area around the fort continued to grow. In 1873, the city of Winnipeg was established and the name Fort Garry was no longer used. In 1881-1884 the majority of the fort was demolished to straighten Main Street (it was at Main Street and Assiniboine Avenue). Although only the main gate of the fort remains today, the name "Fort Garry" lives on through various institutions and businesses. An area or division of Winnipeg running along the Red River south of the original fort is called Fort Garry. The hotel beside the fort is called the Fort Garry Hotel, which was originally constructed for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway company. Fort Street and Garry Street are on either side of the hotel. Many companies have adopted the name, such as Fort Garry Industries and the Fort Garry Brewing Company. The Fort Garry Horse has been a component of the Winnipeg military garrison throughout the 20th and into the 21st centuries. (en)
  • Fort Garry (ou Upper Fort Garry) était un comptoir de la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson situé au cœur de l'actuelle Winnipeg, au confluent des rivières rouge et Assiniboine. Construit en 1822 à proximité de l'ancien Fort Gibraltar de la Compagnie du Nord-Ouest, le lieu doit son nom à Nicholas Garry, représentant de la Compagnie. Servant de centre au commerce des fourrures dans la colonie de la Rivière rouge, il fut détruit en 1826 par des inondations pour être reconstruit dix ans plus tard. Renommé Upper Fort Garry pour le différencier de Lower Fort Garry, un autre comptoir située 32 km en aval et construit en 1832, il joua un rôle commercial secondaire mais administratif de première importance pendant l'essentiel du XIXe siècle. Le Conseil d'Assiniboine, centre administratif et judiciaire de la colonie contrôlé par la Compagnie, se réunissait à Upper Fort Garry. En 1869, à la suite de la perte de son monopole commercial sur la région, la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson accepta de transférer la souveraineté de la Terre de Rupert, Fort Garry compris, au Canada. Pendant la Rébellion de la rivière Rouge, le fort fut capturé par Louis Riel et ses compagnons Métis. Après la rébellion, la zone autour du fort continua de s'étendre, jusqu'à ce que celui-ci soit en grande partie rasé vers la fin des années 1880 pour laisser de la place au centre-ville. Seule reste de nos jours la porte principale du fort, le nom lui-même de "Fort Garry" restant attaché à divers bâtiments et entreprises locales (telle la Fort Garry Brewing Company). Le quartier est site historique canadien depuis 1924. (fr)
