Fort Nelson is a community located in northeastern British Columbia, Canada, situated along the Alaska Highway. Originally established as a fur trading post in 1805, the town has evolved into an important transportation and service hub for the region. The area is known for its rich Indigenous heritage, particularly that of the Fort Nelson First Nation, who have inhabited these lands for thousands of years.

The town is surrounded by the Northern Rockies and serves as a gateway to destinations like the Liard River Hot Springs and the Northern Rocky Mountains Provincial Park. Fort Nelson's history is closely tied to the construction of the Alaska Highway during World War II, which transformed it from a small trading post into a significant stopping point. Today, the community maintains strong connections to both its historical roots and natural surroundings, with the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum preserving much of the area's history.
