Fort Calgary was established in 1875 by the F Troop of the North West Mounted Police. This fort was built at the forks of the Bow and Elbow rivers and under the strict instruction of Inspector Ephrem Brisbois. The Mounted Police had to suppress the whiskey traffic along the Bow River. This fort was constructed out of pine logs and the pole roofs were actually covered with earth. Fort Calgary is open daily.
