Fort Nez Percés, Trading fort on Columbia River at Wallula, United States.
The fort featured double wooden palisades reaching 20 feet high with defensive towers at each corner containing water storage and cannons.
North West Company constructed Fort Nez Percés in 1818 as a strategic trading post, which later transferred to Hudson's Bay Company control in 1821.
The fort facilitated commerce between European traders and local tribes, including the Umatilla, Cayuse, Nez Perce, and Walla Walla nations.
Located six miles from the Snake River junction, the fort served as a supply point for travelers along the Oregon Trail and fur trading expeditions.
After burning in 1841, the fort was rebuilt using adobe bricks instead of wood, marking a significant change in construction methods for the region.
