Fort Livingstone

Fort Livingstone, near present-day Pelly in Saskatchewan, began as a North-West Mounted Police outpost in the old North-West Territories and briefly became a key administrative center on the Canadian prairies. From 1874 to 1876, it served both as the capital of the North-West Territories and as headquarters of the North-West Mounted Police before those functions moved to Battleford and Fort Macleod. Though the active post lasted only a short time, the site remains important as a rare surviving place tied to the earliest territorial government and policing in the Canadian Northwest. It was recognized nationally in 1923 and provincially protected in 1986.
