History of Lethbridge : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Lethbridge The city of Lethbridge, Alberta, developed from drift mines opened by Nicholas Sheran (1874) and the North Western Coal and Navigation Company (1882), whose president was William Lethbridge. Previous to this, the area now known as Lethbridge was named Coal Banks,〔http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/337384/Lethbridge〕 and was part of the territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Kainai, the Piikani and the Siksika.〔(A Short History of Lethbridge, Alberta ), Greg Ellis, October 2001〕 ==Whisky trade== After the United States Army outlawed alcohol trading in 1869 with the Blood nation in Montana, traders John J. Healy and Alfred B. Hamilton started the whisky trading post Fort Hamilton near the junction of the St. Mary and Oldman rivers.〔 After it was burned down, they rebuilt it and eventually it came to be nicknamed Fort Whoop-Up. The whisky traded at this post was often not much more than alcohol, river water, chewing tobacco and lye. The whisky trade eventually led to the massacre of many Assiniboines in the Cypress Hills area by some Americans in 1873. As a result, the North-West Mounted Police (now the RCMP) were sent to the area to stop the trade and establish order. The NWMP arrived at Fort Whoop-Up on 9 October 1874. Later in 1875, the NWMP established a post at the fort by renting a room from Healy and Hamilton. For the next twelve years, the fort continued to trade and host a NWMP post.
