The town of Fort Qu'Appelle (not to be confused with the nearby town of Qu'Appelle) is between Echo and Mission Lakes, the second and third of the four Fishing Lakes. It is immediately adjacent to the site of the original Fort Qu'Appelle Hudson's Bay Company trading post, whose "factory" is maintained as a historical site and museum. (The 1897 Hudson's Bay stone department store building remains standing on Main Street, though long disused by the Bay.) The surrounding area is home to grain and cattle farms, small rural communities and sixteen Indian reserves. Fort Qu'Appelle has the largest detachment of RCMP per capita in the country. Population is 1,919 as of the 2006 census.
