Henley House

Henley House, the first inland post established by the Hudson's Bay Company, was located in what is now Kenora District, Ontario, Canada.

In 1685, just before the Hudson Bay expedition (1686) the French built Fort des Français at the future site of Henley House.

The first Henley House was built on the north bank of the Albany opposite the mouth of the Kenogami River.

In 1754, local Cree attacked the post in retribution for the sexual misconduct of its manager William Lamb and killed four men.

Henley House became a proper trading post and returned 2,000 made beaver in one year, about a tenth of the James Bay production.
