<p>Fort Simpson was first started as a <a href="Fur_trade" title="Fur trade">fur trading</a> site in 1803 then named Fort of the Forks. The Village of Fort Simpson was a permanent settlement in July 1822 when the <a href="Hudson's_Bay_Company" title="Hudson's Bay Company">Hudson's Bay Company</a> constructed a <a href="Trading_post" title="Trading post">trading post</a>, naming it for <a href="George_Simpson_(HBC_administrator)" title="George Simpson (HBC administrator)">George Simpson</a>, then the <a href="Governor" title="Governor">Governor</a> of <a href="Rupert's_Land" title="Rupert's Land">Rupert's Land</a>.

<p>Fort Simpson has a <a href="Subarctic_climate" title="Subarctic climate">subarctic climate</a> (<a href="K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification" title="Köppen climate classification">Köppen</a> <i>Dfc</i>) with long, cold winters and warm but short summers. July temperatures are unusually warm for such northerly areas, which demonstrates the extreme continental nature of the area's climate. However, the heat quickly turns into cold winters when daylight hours turn drastically shorter. Transition seasons are extremely short, and the year is on average dominated by the winter and to a lesser extent, summer. The average monthly temperatures range from −23.6 °C (−10.5 °F) in January to 17.7 °C (63.9 °F) in July.<sup id="cite_ref-ccn71946_37-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ccn71946-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most of the precipitation falls during the summer months.
