Fort Douglas was a fort of the Hudson Bay Company that was built by Scottish and Irish settlers in 1812 in what is today Winnipeg, Manitoba. During the conflict between the Hudson Bay Company and the Northwest Company, the fort was burned by the Métis and employees of the Northwest Company. The fort was soon rebuilt and there was a short period of relative peace. After the Battle of Seven Oaks in 1816, the fort was again destroyed, and the settlers were removed from their land.
