Fort Resolution is built on a peninsula (ranging from 158 to 163 m above sea level) southwest of the Slave River Delta on the south shore of Great Slave Lake.
A Northwest Company trading post was first established on the Slave River delta in 1786. A few years later it was moved to nearby Moose Deer Island however this site was abandoned when the Fort was rebuilt on Great Slave Lake. St. Joseph's Mission House was moved in 1890 and an RCMP detachment was set up in 1913. In 1938-39 a hospital building was built to treat tuberculosis cases but patients were eventually transferred to Edmonton and the building closed.
Today logging/sawmilling is the primary source of income along with trapping, hunting and domestic fishing also key factors. The population is 536 (1996 Census).
