South Branch House (1786-1794) - A Hudson's Bay Company post first established in 1786 at present day St. Louis, Saskatchewan. Attacked and abandoned in 1794.

History of South Branch House

Established in 1786 on the east bank of the South Saskatchewan River. This was one of a few trading posts on the South Saskatchewan.

In July 1794 a large group of Gros Ventre Indians attacked the HBC post and killed everyone except J. C. Van Dreil who was able to hide in an abandoned cellar. The post was burned down by the Gros Ventres and never rebuilt by the HBC.
