The sprawling stockade was once headquarters for the Hudson's Bay Company Columbia Department, covering what is now British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Fur trappers brought in piles of beaver furs to be shipped to England. Oregon Trail emigrants trickled in, Native people came to trade, and laborers from many countries worked at the fort.

Dr. John McLoughlin headed the whole enterprise, keeping the peace and British rule. By 1860, though, the British and the company were gone. Fort Vancouver was on American soil.
