Established in 1822 by the American Fur Company near present-day Florence in North Omaha, this trading post became known as Cabanné's Post after its operator, Jean-Pierre Cabanné. Positioned between Fort Atkinson and Fort Lisa, it served as an important link in relations between the United States and Native American tribes in the Louisiana Purchase and prospered by provisioning the nearby garrison and supporting the company's expanding fur trade. Visited in 1823 by Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied, it grew into a substantial complex by 1833 before management changed hands and operations were absorbed into Fontenelle's Post around 1840 as the fur trade declined.
