Fort Steele Heritage Town

The origins of Fort Steele can be traced to the small settlement of Galbraith's Ferry. In 1888 the settlement's name was changed to Fort Steele in honour of Sam Steele of the Royal Northwest Mounted police who had settled tensions between white settlers and local First Nations people.
