Historic site and former capital of the North-West Territories, Canada
Place
Fort Livingstone was founded as an outpost in North-West Territories, Canada.
The outpost briefly served as the capital city for the North-West Territories government for the years of 1874 to 1876 until it moved to Battleford, Saskatchewan, and headquarters for the North-West Mounted Police for the same period, until they moved their headquarters to Fort Macleod, Alberta.
The site was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1923.[1] It was also designated a provincial Protected Area in 1986.[2]
The nearest inhabited site is Pelly, Saskatchewan.[3]
