English:
Simon Fraser and John Stuart established Fort St. James among the Carrier Indians in 1806. Originally a North West Company post, it passed to the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821. From the beginning an important centre of trade and cooperation with the Indians, it became, under the Hudson's Bay Company, the chief trading post in north-central British Columbia and the administrative centre of the large and prosperous district of New Caledonia. Throughout its history Fort St. James has been an important link in communications with northern British Columbia.

French:
Simon Fraser et John Stuart ?tablirent chez les Indiens Porteurs ce poste traite qui passa en 1821, de la Compangnie du Nord-Ouest ? la Compangnie de la Baie d'Hudson. D l'origine, ce fort fut un centre important de commerce et de bonnes relations avec les Indiens. Sous la Compangnie de la Baie d'Hudson, il devint le priincipal poste de traite du centre-nord de la Colombie-Britannique et le si?ge administratif du vaste et riche district de la Nouvelle-Caledonie. Le fort St. James a toujours jou? un grand r?le dans les communications avec le nord de la Columbie-Britannique.
