Downtown
The heart of downtown Fort McMurray offers a lot of history, that began with Peter Pond and the fur trade. Today, the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB), the Northern Lights Regional Hospital, MacDonald Island Park and many local businesses make up the downtown core. Tucked away in quiet corners of downtown are some of Fort McMurray's first neighbourhoods. Charming older bungalows, situated on large lots, river valley views and quick access to services and amenities keep downtown desirable today.

European Settlement
In his exploration of Western Canada, fur trader Peter Pond stopped at the confluence of the Athabasca and Clearwater rivers — the future site of Fort McMurray — in 1778. From that point forward there is evidence that Europeans (primarily the North West Company) had a series of minor trading posts at the site beginning around 1786. However, it wasn’t until 1870 that H.J. Moberly of the Hudson’s Bay Company established a major post at Fort McMurray, naming it after HBC factor William McMurray. More than a fur-trading post, the fort was meant as a terminal for a proposed steamboat route, moving furs toward Edmonton along the Athabasca River. In 1883, the S.S. Grahame, the first vessel to travel the route, made her maiden voyage.2
