Online Dispensary in Fort Simpson, NT

Fort Simpson sits on an island at the exact point where the Liard River meets the Mackenzie, a location long known to the Dene people as the place where the rivers come together. The North West Company built a fur trading post here in 1803, first known as Fort of the Forks, and the Hudson’s Bay Company took over the site permanently in 1822, naming it after Sir George Simpson, the company’s powerful overseas governor. The rich soil and relatively mild river-valley climate later earned the community the nickname Garden of the Mackenzie, a rare label for anywhere this far north.

Fort Simpson is the only village, as opposed to town or hamlet, anywhere in the Northwest Territories, incorporated in 1973, and it still serves as the administrative hub for the wider Dehcho region. The 1890s Klondike gold rush passed through here too, and walking tours today still trace the route of prospector Albert Faille, whose cabin still stands near Fort Simpson Heritage Park. The community also serves as the main gateway to Nahanni National Park Reserve, with Virginia Falls, twice the height of Niagara, accessible by float plane or guided river trip. Today Fort Simpson is home to around 1,200 residents. Weed Market ships to Fort Simpson addresses the same way it does anywhere else in the Northwest Territories, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
