Henry Kelsey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Kelsey (c. 1667 – 1724), also known as Boy Kelsey, was an English fur trader, explorer, and sailor who played an important role in establishing the Hudson's Bay Company.
Kelsey was born and married in East Greenwich, south-east of central London.[1]
During the years 1690 to 1691, Kelsey explored Northern Manitoba from Hudson's Bay to the Saskatchewan River. He is traditionally believed to be the first white man to see what is now Alberta.
He returned to England in 1722 and died two years later, being buried in St Alfege's Church, where there is a commemorative plaque to his name.[1]
Kelsey has a senior public school named in his honour in Scarborough, which is now a part of the City of Toronto. He also has a park named in his honour in Saskatoon, as well as a housing residence at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
