Fort Whoop-Up
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Fort_Whoop-Up an entity of type: Thing
Fort Whoop-Up was the nickname (eventually adopted as the official name) given to a whisky trading post, originally Fort Hamilton, near what is now Lethbridge, Alberta. During the late 19th century, the post served as a centre for trading activities, including the illegal whisky trade. The sale of whisky was outlawed but, due to the lack of law enforcement in the region prior to 1874, many whisky traders had settled in the area and taken to charging unusually high prices for their goods. Fort Whoop-Up is also the name of a replica site and interpretive centre built in Indian Battle Park.
