Traffic on the Rainy River is recorded as early as 1688 or 1689 by Jacques de Noyon, a native of Trois Rivieres. He made the journey with a party of Indians who promised he would find a river emptying into the Western Sea (Lake Winnipeg). Later, voyageur traffic along the river, heading West, became heavy. In 1800, Alexander Henry remarked on the abundance of sturgeon. Alexander Mackenzie, in 1801, made the same observation and said, “This is one of the finest rivers in the North-West.”
