River Valley Factoid
Settlements along the river began with trading posts and missions that were usually situated on sites favoured by Aboriginal groups as seasonal encampments. These sites were most beneficial for shelter, protection, and resource harvesting. Guided by Aboriginal people, the earliest Europeans along the river soon adopted these advantageous sites. Early European communities along the river were constructed inside forts.
