National Park Service, Fort Vancouver NHS

Dr. John McLoughlin, HBC Chief Factor at Fort Vancouver, was one of many people who played a prominant role in crafting the area's history.

From American Indian inhabitants to immigrants from the American Midwest; from Orkney Island laborers to African American Buffalo Soldiers; from Hawaiian Island sailors to French Canadian voyageurs, people have played an integral role in shaping the site's history.

As part of a continuing project, information about many of the people associated with the park and its history will be added.
