In 1795, the Hudson's Bay Company established Edmonton House and the North West Company Fort Augustus a few kilometers downstream from the present-day city of Edmonton. Although both posts were moved several times, they operated side by side as the major administrative, trade, and provisioning centres on the North Saskatchewan River from 1795 to 1821, when the companies merged.

The post journals and district reports from Edmonton House for the period from 1806 to 1821 are reproduced verbatim in this volume.
