About Fort Union Trading Post<\/strong>
\nFort Union Trading Post was constructed on the spacious plains in 1828, near where the mighty Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers joined by John Jacob Astor\u2019s American Fur Company. This fort went on to become its most famous fur trade post. Although called a fort, the post was neither a government nor a military installation, but a privately owned commercial establishment founded to engage in business with the Northern Plains Tribes.<\/p>\n

Built at the request of the Assiniboine nation, Fort Union Trading Post, then called Fort Union, quickly emerged as the Upper Missouri\u2019s most profitable fur trade post. This trade business continued until 1867, giving rise to a uniquely diverse, peaceful, and productive social and cultural environment that helped make Fort Union western America\u2019s longest-lasting fur trade post.
