Fort Nelson is located to the North of British Columbia and you can also find the Fort Nelson Metis in Alberta. There are actually quite a few in Alberta, suprisingly. It is a relatively flat plain with many forests around. There are many rivers and mountains at the edge of Fort Nelson. The forest is in the north and all the rivers flow into the Arctic Ocean. The rocky mountains that surround Fort Nelson are beautiful to look at and the view at the top is spectacular.

History By Clare Gazzola
In 1805, the Europeans helped establish the first fur trade. Then, in 1865, they built five more trading posts, that-in history-were either burned or abandoned.
In 1942, during the second World War, Canada needed a route from Northern BC to Alaska. The army built the highway in just eight months! Today, the Alaska Highway is a memorial of the second World War. There is also beautiful wildlife if you travel from Fort Nelson to Alaska.
That is just a few points in the Fort Nelson history.
