Hudson's Bay Co. and North West Co. operated adjoining forts on the North Saskatchewan river at mouth of White Earth river (112°15'W.) to which location they removed in 1810 from the mouth of Vermilion river.
[crew to build it came from NWC Fort Augustus and HBC Fort Edmonton, I think]
The site was a short distance below the present Victoria, (See fort Vermilion (2)), and a short distance below "Mud Brook House" (Fort Augustus).
Thompson visited the region in 1800.
It was called also Terre Blanche, White Earth House, White Mud Brook, and Lower White Earth or Mud Fort.
Shown on map No. 11.
Hudson's Bay Co. and North West Co. removed from Edmonton in 1810 to north side of Saskatchewan river at east side of a small stream, about 2 miles below present White Lake Creek, half way between fort Augustus (Edmonton) and Boggy Hall 114°20'N, in Section 30, Tp. 51, R. 2, West of 5th Meridian.
The post last appears on the 1872 list and was probably closed about 1875.
Known also as White Mud fort, Old White Mud, Upper Terre Blanche, Upper White Earth.
A. Henry Jr. in 1811 described the fort as being in a "pretty location on an elevated plain with range of hills in rear".
Established 1810 for trade with the Assiniboines.
