Fort hall was owned and operated by hudson bay trading co. And was constructed in 1847. Not sure when it was abandoned, sometime around 1880s. It was an outpost and trading post for explorers and was completly self contained. Not to be confused with the modern day Fort Hall, it was located on the Ross fork of the Snake river about 6 miles southeast of the current day Fort Hall,wich is an indian reservation now.There is a replica of Fort Hall built in Pocatello , in upper Ross park which is open in the summer only.
