Fort Hall is a historic trading post located in southeastern Idaho, established in 1834 by the American Fur Company. It served as a key supply point for fur trappers and traders traveling the Oregon Trail and California Trail. The fort was strategically positioned near the confluence of the Snake River and Portneuf River, making it an essential stop for pioneers and travelers. Over the years, Fort Hall evolved from a fur trading post to a military outpost and eventually a community hub. Today, it is recognized for its historical significance and is part of the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, which is home to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes. Visitors can explore the site to learn about its rich history and the role it played in westward expansion.
